Line┬аLength=Text┬аWidth+тИСInter-word┬аGaps
The word processor calculates the total width of the text line and compares it to the defined line length. To fill the gap, it performs micro-spacing adjustments using a typesetting algorithm (such as Knuth-Plass line breaking). If a line is too short, like the final line of a paragraph, it defaults to left alignment to avoid excessive letter spacing.
Justification improves visual symmetry in professional documents.
It requires careful use of hyphenation to prevent 'rivers' of white space between words.
The keyboard shortcut in MS Word is typically Ctrl + J.
Provides a clean, balanced, and formal aesthetic.
Commonly used in books, newspapers, and journals for readability.
Can create uneven gaps between words if the column width is too narrow.
May decrease legibility for readers with dyslexia due to inconsistent word spacing.
