Hallo again, and thanks to everyone who has replied to my original post, privately or here.

First of all, I understand I may have unwittingly transgressed in the posting of it . If so, I do apologise.

As to the substantive points: what I think I've learnt is that (a) yes, I had missed something (b) that something being that the alignment buttons are more limited than going the menu route, and specifically that the 'justify' button does not work on a single line, or the last line of a paragraph, whereas (I think) the other three buttons do.

The query originally came to my attention when I was laying out a 'display'-style document, ie not continuous text. There was one line I wanted to spread as widely as possible without increasing the font size. Applying what I now know: the Justify command (via format menu) treats the individual words as sacrosanct, and just increases the spaces between them, which can look a bit odd. Manually adding spaces between letters overcomes this, and then inserting more spaces (to taste!) in what should be the gaps between 'words' progressively reduces the 'value' of the spaces within the 'words'.

Once again, many thanks

I forgot to mention: if you have already typed the text you want
justified, you have to highlight it when clicking on the justify button.


​Technically, it should work by just having the cursor in the paragraph, as
the justification is a paragraph property. If it doesn't apply the
justification to other lines, then indeed your lines are not part of the
same paragraph (e.g. the return key was used somewhere).>
