I believe that when you use the procedure described by Brian, if there are multiple lines in this block of text that you just "right justified", the left edge of it will not be straight. Can anyone confirm this? I could be wrong about this.

You might find that using a table is still easier, but you can do it without creating a table. Type the part of the line that you want to be left aligned but don't use spaces between the words. Use non-breaking spaces. The hotkey for a non-breaking space is CTRL-Shift-Spacebar. After you are done typing what you want on the left then press the spacebar one time. Now type what you want to align to the right margin but again use non-breaking spaces after each word. The only actual regular space is between what you want on the left and what you want on the right. When you have typed what you want on the right be sure not to press spacebar. Before doing anything else press CTRL-J for justification. The keystroke to immediately follow the CTRL-J is Shift-Enter. Use the above steps for each line you want left and right aligning to be applied to, using CTRL-J after each line and shift-enter to move down a line. If you press enter instead of shift-enter it will take away the right alignment. In summary, non-breaking spaces are used instead of regular spaces between words, the spacebar is used by itself only once and that divides what you want on left and right. CTRL-J should be used immediately after typing the last character on the line. Shift-enter should be used to move down to the next line.
