Note: Full justification may create wide letter or word spacing, espe-
cially in narrow text columns. Other justification settings (without
hyphenation) might appear too ragged on one or both sides. You can
set letter- and word-spacing parameters to improve the appearance of
text. For more information, see Adjusting letter and word spacing
on page 28.560
