I've given your suggestion of a line break a try but the problem is that the line before doesn't extend all the way to the edge of the margin in the justify setting. Is there a way to fix that?

Hello nukubolu ,

yes, there is, but it may not work for the line you chose. You need to choose one which reaches the right margin as closely as possible, and do a manual line break (shift+enter) and then hit the normal 'return' key (ENTER) and then page break. Delete the extra line it creates.

With that you need to have, however, the advanced option (File→Options→Advanced) of 'Don't expand character spaces on a line that ends with SHIFT+RETURN' in Layout unticked.

Or, instead of inserting a page break, mark the entire following paragraph for 'Keep lines together'.

Or, mark the following paragraph as 'Keept with next' - again, instead of a page break.

There are many options, depending on the text.

Sometimes, we need to create tricks of our own to work around Word features.
