Default please help: justify all paragraphs which are not empty paragraphs


Hello,

Is there a way in Microsoft Word 2007 to justify all paragraphs
which are not standalone empty paragraphs with no text in them?
This would be extremely useful to me.

Thanks,

John Goche

The best solution is not to use empty paragraphs: use Space After instead.
You can remove empty paras easily using Find & Replace (Ctrl+H). Search for
occurrences of stop double paras
..^p^p
and replace with
..^p
Then select all the paragraphs to apply Justified AND Space After in one
sweep or better still, alter the Style to include these attributes.

Yes, but you should not have any empty paragraphs, and if you do, why does
it matter whether they're justified or not?
