how do i "right justify" some text in a paragraph.

Guest

i have recently been asked to produce a word document with the main body of
the text being fully justified, with the exception of the last four lines
which are to be "right justified". How do I do this?
I am using Windows XP professional.

[Rant] Fully justified text is usually harder to read even if it looks
prettier. [End Rant]

You can't have two justifications in a single paragraph. If you have
separate paragraphs, even with no extra space between them, you can have
different justifications. There are little justification buttons on the
formatting toolbar to do just this.

If you are going to be doing this a lot, create some styles that you can
apply. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/styles.htm.

The last four line will need to be in a separate paragraph. Press Ctrl+R for
right alignment. Alternatively, if you're trying to introduce right-aligned
text into a left-aligned or justified paragraph, you'll need a right tab
stop at the right margin; see
