I have a paragraph that is indented and I want the entire paragraph fullly
justified, but not the last line.
 
Ctrl+J will justify all but the last line.

Ctrl+J did not work, the last line is still full justified. Could this be
because the paragraph numbered and is indented?
 
Indents and numbers have nothing to do with it. The last line will not be
justified unless it ends in a line break instead of a paragraph break.

Are you pressing ENTER at the end of each line? If so, you are in fact
creating paragraphs in Word, which explains why all lines (paragraphs)
are being justified.
 
Nope, wrong way round. If you press Enter at the end of each line, no line
will be justified. But Enter is required at the end of the paragraph. In
text pasted from the Web, there may be a line break at the end of each line,
with two line breaks between "paragraphs." This is not obvious unless you
display nonprinting characters (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm).
