Default Aligning Text

I have created a report with text in a text box. I would like the text to
Justify Left and right. (Distribute)

I have used the Shift/Enter keys to start a new paragraph. The problem is
that when I change the Text Align Properties to Distribute, it spaces the
words of the last line in the paragraph.
Example:
"Thank you for all your assistance yesterday.
M u c h A p p r e c i a t e d etc."

Is there a way this can be overcome?
Many thanks for any help

Not sure if this is helpful (or even right) , but whenever I see that problem
there seems to be some invisible "character" missing from the end of the
line and putting a line break (alt-enter) at the end of the text solves it.

Thanks for your reply Fred.
Tried what you suggested, however, when you are typing in a text box created
in the Report and press ALT-Enter, you are taken to the properties of the
Text Box.
Have I missed something?
Thanks again
Roger

Not meaning to butt in here but Fred may have meant CTRL-Enter.
