Default Last line of page won't justify

I've attached a couple of pictures that show what I'm talking about. The first one shows how the page break would normally look. But let's say I want to jump up three lines and put the page break after the line that ends with "because." One example of why I might want to do this is if I have a picture that goes after that line and it's too big to fit at the end of that page. When I do that, the end of the sentence won't justify. In the second picure it shows that I've put a section break at the end of the sentence, but it doesn't matter if I enter a section break or not, it still won't justify. Anyone know how to remedy this? Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Hi, WaltR. I think you'd need the advanced typesetting capabilities of a prograpm like InDesign to do what you're asking. However, you can "cheat" your last line, after inserting your break, by selecting the words in the last line, and increasing the letter spacing in the Font formatting/Character spacing dialogue.

Yup, Character Spacing works like a charm. It's good to have you around Ulodesk, you know your stuff.

Hi WaltR,

You should never need to insert a page break into the middle of a paragraph. Apart from anything else, that turns the paragraph into two paragraphs. The fact that an image is involved doesn't change this - you can position an image wherever you want it to appear on a page independently of any text.

With what you're doing (and with what Ulodesk suggests), opening the document on PC with a different active printer could result in a change in the page layout and cause the pagination or last-line justification to change - you might even end up with just one or two lines on a new page.
