How to Adjust Justification So the Last Sentences in Paragraphs Left Justify in Microsoft Word
Left-Align the Entire Paragraph
1. Open the Microsoft Word file in which you want to adjust the text. Click anywhere in the paragraph that needs a justification change. Or, if you want to apply these settings to the whole document, press 'Ctrl' and 'A' on your keyboard.
2. Click the 'Home' tab.
3. Click the 'Justify' button on the ribbon in the Paragraph group -- it shows horizontal lines of equal lengths, representing the justification of text. Or, press 'Ctrl' and 'J' on the keyboard.
Left-Align the Last Line Only
4. Open the Microsoft Word file in which you want to adjust the text. Click in the text at the very end of the paragraph's last line, immediately after the last character.
5. Press 'Enter' or 'Return' on your keyboard. This will remove the justification and left-align this last line while preserving the justification of the rest of the paragraph.
6. Press 'Delete' on your keyboard to remove the extra line of space you just created by pressing 'Enter.'
