Align text justified - lines with huge gaps between text

Hi guys, back for another round of questions. I am using the Align Text Justified option with a 3 column page, for the most part it is fantastic however there are the odd line here and there where it has only put 3 words and spread them out right across the line. Is there any way to fix this?

Cheers.

hi evansorelli


justified text in narrow columns needs some tweaking:

       
  • always hyphenate justified text
  • play with the settings under 'properties' → 'text' → 'advanced settings → 'glyph extension' (usually i wouldn't go lower than 97% or higher than 104%...)
  • sometimes you even need some manual editing to avoid wide spaces.

Thanks heaps, I can see how minor tweaks will get the job done in most cases! it will just take a little bit of playing around.
