Hi Kevin, That's just another limitation of the parameter. Justified text actually comes in several flavours - left, right and both. I believe there are also settings to use it vertically to fill a box but I'm not even going to begin to paddle down that white river. ;)

This is also why it's less legible - the "rivers of white space" alluded to already are caused by varying and inconsistent word spacing, which makes the eye jump from word to word instead of tracking smoothly. I'd also have to dispute that it looks "better", but that's just subjective on my part. -- Kevin Futter Webmaster, St. Bernard's College http://www.sbc.melb.catholic.edu.au/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
