I have a document (a poem) that I wanted the alignment to be justified, spread all across for effect. However, the last two lines of the poem are not complying and are staying on the right!? How can I get them to behave?

P.S. Attaching the doc in case you need it to understand the situation. Thanks in advance!

I have to say that is a very very weird way to have paragraphs. That being said, turn on Show\Hide. You will see that the last two lines are real paragraphs - they terminate with a paragraph mark. All the other "lines" are composed of ONE paragraph. If you make the last two lines the same as the other, there you go. But like I said, a weird way to use Word.

Thanks a lot!- but how did that happen?- and how did you change that? These kind of things always happen...

Basically, why when I press [enter] to proceed to the next line does it sometimes create a new paragraph and sometimes not? It seems moody to me...

Pressing Enter will always create a new paragraph when you are typing in ordinary text.

Pressing Shift+Enter will create a new line without a new paragraph.
