Hello,
in WORD 2010, I have a 25-page document in two columns.
During a return, many sentences automatically have only a few words separated by large spaces, like this (if it displays in the forum since spaces are removed?):

"Many sentences automatically have
only a few words
separated by large spaces"

Large irregular spaces in the sentence and not just at the end.

Whereas the following sentences are normal and well aligned.
It's very unsightly.

How can I fix this problem?

    Hello,

    it's simple, you remove the text justification. To do this, select the desired text, go to the home tab --> paragraph --> and click on the justify icon to cancel the text justification.

      Thank you for your instructions. But my two-column text must remain justified otherwise it looks strange with two columns and left-aligned text.

      I still haven't found how to do it. I have lines with only 3 words for example and a big space between each word while the following lines are well-balanced.

      If someone can find the solution... It must work since I see texts that are well justified, etc....

    Hi,
    These sentences that “automatically have only a few words
    separated by large spaces    ,” how did you create them?
    Could it be text coming from a copy/paste from a web page? The problem would then be caused by manual line breaks represented by the symbol drawn on the Enter keys of keyboards (an arrow “pointing back” to the left).
