Question about text editing in Dreamweaver...

[lordhutt]

I am tryng to make a web page using Dreamweaver.
I have groups of text that I want the alignment to be justified...(all the lines in the paragraph are the same length).

However, the problem I am having is when you apply this format to a paragraph in Dreamweaver (or Word for that matter) it does not affect the last line...but that is exactly what I need.

Is there a setting that can be changed to make it affect all of the lines?

Thanks.

I don't use Dreamweaver but that is how justified works no matter what application your using. The only way to center it that I'm awre of is cut the last line into it's own

, <div>,....etc and center it. If your using a fluid design that won't work because you have no way of determining what the length of the last line is going to be.

Actually if you do format it like that I think you'll find that it looks oddly out of place.

Well, it wont look out of place because it is for a menu for my friends bar/restaurant. That is basically how most menus are formatted.

I found a way to get around it but its just a little bit of a hassle.
On the last line after the description of the food you have the leader periods leading up to the price like so...............7.95

So I apply the justify alignment and then add periods in the last line till it is about to the end. I then add an image file at the end of the last line that looks like the background and is as wide as the text block.
This takes me to an extra line which in turn justifies the line with the leader and price.
The extra line with the image acts as the spacer between menu items.

You would think that there is an easier way to do this though

But until something else comes up this is what I will have to do, I guess.
