Well, actually, this is how full justification is supposed to work.  Go into
your favorite text editor (say, MacWrite or Word), select Full Justification,
and type away.  You will find that every line in the paragaph, EXCEPT THE LAST,
is fully justified.  The last line will be left justified only.  Or look at
a newspaper.
