    Default Text align as Justify looking weird

    Hi all,
    I noticed that when I give the text-align style as "justify", the
    words are unevenly spaced to justify the alignment. But it looks really weird
    if there are only two long words in a sentence and many small letter words in
    the next line. Can any1 suggest a way to align the text inside a <p> to be
    evenly spaced as well as justified.

    How to make the text to hyphenate (i.e split words with a '-' and display it
    in the next line). Is there a CSS property to accomplish this. I wud be
    grateful to recieve comments.

    Thanks in Advance.

    - John

    Default Re: Text align as Justify looking weird

    Justify doesn't work on the web the same way it works in Microsoft Word.
    Spaces are added between words, not letters. That's why you don't see it
    used often - and it can make your text harder to read.
