Default Problems caused by justifying text in Word 2010

I have justified some text in Word 2010 so that it is aligned both left and right. However, now I have large spaces between some of the words. How can I fix this?

Best answer, in my opinion, is to not justify the text. Justified text looks pretty but is harder to read.

Is the text at the end of a line broken by a line break (shift-enter)? If so, Word will give huge breaks. If you simply press Enter at the end of that line it will improve matters.

Otherwise, you can set a compatibility option.
