Tools: Last-line justification in InDesign CS? Solved!

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Dick Margulis solved the line justification problem about 15 minutes  
after I posed my question... and probably would have solved it faster  
if he'd been checking e-mail when I first sent out the question. <g>

The problem: I wanted to justify text at both the left and right  
margins in a paragraph style definition, but leave the last line of  
the paragraph flush right. Thus, I selected "Full justify" --  
incorrectly assuming "full" meant "both sides". Nope. It actually  
means that the last line should also be justified, whether or not it  
merits this treatment.

The solution: Choose the "Left justify" setting, which does not mean  
(as you might expect, and as I certainly did) "justify only the left  
margin". That's reserved for the "Left" setting, minus the word  
"justify". Makes perfect sense once you understand the logic!
