Default Sentences stretching to fit table column.

Hi guys,



I have always used word and been pretty comfortable with it but lately I have been playing around with features that I am guilty of never using.

I have created a table with two separate columns. The column on the left is essentially bullet points and text. I have noticed that the text seems to be stretching to meet the furthest point of the first column and this is creating large spaces between some words to take up the entire width of the column.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Change the justification in the columns from Full to Left.
For a few, select the cells where this is a problem and press Ctrl+L.

This is best done through styles.
