[Justified text stretches single words over the whole line]

That will happen in two cases:

1. On the last line of a paragraph if you have chosen Justify All rather than Justify Left.
2. On a line within a paragraph if the line ends with a Line Break rather than flowing to the next line, and you're using a Justify option.

Solutions:

1. For 1, don't use Justify All.
2. For 2, don't use Line Break between lines; let the text flow between lines. Or use Enter, to cause a Paragraph Break (and then possibly set your space between paragraphs to 0). Or don't use Justify.

 

Perhaps, I'm just too novice, but is there another way to achieve the justified text look without justifying the text? I format books for print, and having jagged paragraphs is a big no-no.

As such, I've fixed this issue by creating a paragraph break, left justifying the line, and then backspacing until it's back where I want it to be.

You would think that Justify Last Line Left would fix this to an extent, but alas, we are plagued as publishers. For every element this software fixes, it creates at least one headache.
