Justify Microsoft Word Mac

by

Have you ever tried to block justify your paragraphs (make your right margin even) in a Word document and ended up with an amateurish look of too much space between words? Try this instead (Word versions 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013+ listed).

  1. Select the text you want to block justify.
  2. Right-click on the text, and click Paragraph.
  3. On the Indents and Spacing tab, click the drop-down next to Alignment, and click Justified, OK.
  4. Right-click on the text again, and click Format, Font.
  5. Tick the Kerning for fonts box (on the Character Spacing tab, and set font size to match the size of the font in your paragraph* (kerning is the spacing between characters and each font set has its own kerning). Spacing should be set at Normal.**But play around with this until you’re satisfied by changing everything in this step. Also try using “condensed” and alter the spacing until you’re satisfied.
  6. Click OK.

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2003)

  1. Click the Tools menu, Options. Then click the Compatibility tab.
  2. Tick “Do full justification like WordPerfect...”
  3. Click OK.

Dec 08, 2017 Start by double-clicking on the ruler at the top of your document and bring up the document formatting window. Click on the “Margins” tab, then the “Page Setup” button. Click on “Paper Size,” then “Manage Custom Sizes.”. Make a new dimension by clicking on the “plus” button, and name it “US Trade.”. Justify function is often used to align the text to both left and right margin, and will add extra space between words as necessary. It is a good way to set the style of the text to make it look aligned.

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2007)

  1. Click the Office button, Word Options, Advanced.
  2. Go to absolute bottom of Advanced options, and click to expand Layout Options.
  3. Tick “Do full justification like WordPerfect...” (this Options list is in alphabetical order)
  4. Click OK.

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2010).

  1. Click the File tab, Options, Advanced.
  2. Go to absolute bottom of the Advanced options, and click to expand Layout Options.
  3. Tick “Do full justification like WordPerfect...” (this Options list is in alphabetical order).

To fine-tune the spacing (Word 2013 and above).

Justification has been fixed so it’s no longer necessary to change anything. If you end up with text with too much spacing on a short sentence, read below.

Fixing a Short Sentence

If you ever have a very short sentence at the end of a paragraph that spreads out in spite of your adjustments, click behind the last character of that paragraph, and press Tab to close it up. Occasionally, you’ll have to reword to fill up space.

UPDATE: In Word 2013:

  • Click the File tab, Options, Advanced.
  • Go to absolute bottom of the Advanced options, and click to expand Layout Options.
  • Tick “Don’t expand character spaces on a line that ends with SHIFT-RETURN“.

This tip does not work if you use the Courier font. This is a monospaced (or non-proportional) font which is a typewriter-like, fixed-width font, and each letter occupies the same amount of space. Other computer fonts are variable-width (or proportional) and the software adjusts the spacing automatically. (This is why since the advent of computers, only one space follows a period, not two.)
