pdh Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 When I use Justify all - how do I make the last lines in each paragraph align left, rather than justify all? I don't see an option for that in the text style or in the paragraph box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdh Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Oh so I have to go into each paragraph in the document, select it and then justify left? Isn't there any way to do this globally throughout the document, like in the text style or some such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdh Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 When I click or select the last line and justify left, it applies it to the entire paragraph. I only want the last line justified left and everything else justify all. What am I don't wrong? Thanks okay, I see if I use the right click and justify left it works. I was using the tool bar justify left Alinoz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The justification settings apply to full paragraphs, and Justify Left means "Justify All, except for the last line which is Aligned Left."

Phil P Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Walt, I have the same problem, and have had it forever. If I select a paragraph and then select Justify Left, all of the paragraph is justified right and left, and the last line is not aligned left. I have two words on the last line. The first word is justified left, the second is justified right, leaving a big blank space between the two. Maybe the problem is that I have 2 paragraphs within the same Text Box?

Phil P Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sure. I just discovered that this only happens when I force a line break within a paragraph. (If I merely hit the Enter button, the program skips a space. I haven't tried changing the settings to "do not insert a space between lines within a paragraph when the Enter button is pressed", because I can't find out how/where to do that. Maybe you can help me with that. (Someday, someone will publish a User Manual for Affinity...maybe!) Thanks for your help.

The comprehensive Help which is accessible from within the app is also available online. Affinity Publisher 2 Help: Leading and inter-paragraph spacing Quote To adjust inter-paragraph spacing: From the Paragraph panel, alter the Space Before Paragraph and Space After Paragraph settings in the Spacing section. You may also opt to tick the Sum space before and after and Ignore space for same styles checkboxes depending on how you would like your text spacing to appear in these circumstances. ‘Space After Paragraph’ is non-zero by default, so that you get a clear separation between paragraphs even when there is no first-line indent. fde101 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you force a line break that way, your short line is no longer the last line of the paragraph, and therefore it is correctly and fully justified, just like every other non-last line.

fde101 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 In addition to what Alfred pointed out, you can adjust this within a text style to apply it by default within that style. This is on the Paragraph -> Spacing page while editing the style; just set the space before/after to zero. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffersB Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 If you use 'Justify All' it does just that - it justifies all lines, including the last. Instead, use 'Justify Left' to justify all but the last line; this aligns the last line to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil P Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 GeoffersB, when I use "Justify Left", it fully justifies everything in the paragraph including the last line (which formatting I don't want). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTO Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 When you select the entire frame with the Move tool, the button's icon will reflect the first paragraph and not necessarily all of the paragraphs. With the frame selected, try clicking the button again. If the is the issue that should fix it. Good luck.

Phil P Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Sorry for the misunderstanding. I used a "clipping" utility to clip the section of the desired section of the screen I wish to clip, or the entire screen, then save it to a folder. Then "Choose files" and go to the folder. etc. But I'd kind of like to focus on my problem at hand, namely, a solution to the problem I'm having with the last line of the paragraph being fully justified. I have read Alfred's and Walt's ruminations, and I agree that forcing a new paragraph may be the issue. Is it not possible to left justify the last line of a forced paragraph?

walt.farrell Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 20 minutes ago, Phil P said: Left Justify button is activated. You probably are using Line Breaks (Shift+Enter) rather than Paragraph Breaks (Enter) after each of those lines you think are end of paragraph. If so, they aren't. They're in the middle of the paragraph. Enabling Text > Show Special Characters would let you see that. You need to use Enter and a real Paragraph Break. If you were using Line Breaks to keep everything single-spaced, you may need to adjust the Space After setting for the paragraph, which defaults to 12 pt. You would need to set it to 0, perhaps.

LOL It's the last line of what I was always taught was a paragraph. But unfortunately, I went to a Government school. Maybe that's the problem.
