In this paragraph, the ending of this sentence, which completes in the second line, is not justified correctly.
I tried several times to make sure there is a space before and after “threw” but no change.
When I put that paragraph into left alignment, it appears as this.
Any thoughts why “threw” is having a big space gap with it?
Thanks.
If you hope for a relevant answer, edit your question (= modify it without adding new comment) to mention OS name, LO version (complete with 4 components) and save format. Since a screenshot don’t allow to access the technical p)properties of your formatting, attach a sample file corresponding to the screenshot (max 1 page) and make sure the problem is still present.
Delete the tab to de left of “I threw”. See the barely visible point there.
Wow wow wow!
I did not notice that at all. Thank you!
Now I need to search for any other tabs that are in paragraphs.
Thank you for pointing that out.
Any tab creates a “barrier” for the justification algorithm. Text is justified separately between these barriers.
Tabs should be used only when your data is tabular “by nature”, which is not the case for a discourse.
Your use of tab for indenting the first line oa paragraph is faulty from a semantic point of view. You should instead customise your paragraph style to define the First line indent which would then be applied automatically without the need for tab.
I suspect you had two paragraphs you merged by suppressing the paragraph mark between them (perhaps adding a space) without erasing the indenting tab. This can’t happen with adequately configured paragraph styles because there is no tab.
ajlittoz,
I get what they are. My question was about the way the spacing was, not seeing that a tab was in there.
I gave the explanation. A tab moves the cursor to some stop. This divides the line in at least two segments (depending on the number of stops). Each segment is then laid out according to the alignment requested in the paragraph style (or direct formatting). This design is intended to give a consistent result with 'tabular data" and may surprise users when your text is not “tabular” by nature as in your case.
This is why tabs should never be used to alter positioning of “standard” text.
