![]() I want to format a paragraph in "justify full lines." I combed thru the "classroom in a book" manual and found the section that explains using the paragaph palette. Seems pretty simple. Align left and align center both work correctly, but when I choose Justify Full Lines or Justify All Lines, nothing happens to the selected text. This is what I do: choose selection tool > highlight text > choose Justify Full Lines from paragraph palette. |

![]() Still couldn't get it to work. The person who I took over from had old Illustr. files with Justify Full Lines working so I copy/pasted into my file, then modified the text. Boom. Done. Still though, it would be nice to know why I cannot do it myself. . . |

![]() Don't force a line ending until you begin a new paragraph. In order to set a text block width, don't just click the text tool: click and drag to define the width of the text block. Then just type away to your heart's content. Illustrator will start a new line automatically when it reaches the limits of the defined text area. Only type "return" or "enter" when you want to start a new paragraph. |
