How to justify left and right in Word 2003?

[Naujoks]

I have a document in which I want two words (a composer's name) appear justified on the left, and on the right hand side in the same line the name of a work that he wrote, justfied with the right hand border, leaving a rather large blank in the middle. I can't figure out how to do this. Is there a key shortcut or any easy version of achieving this?

Sounds like you need a 'Tab Leader'

But I'm not sure how to set it up - maybe the Help can er... help? <sheepish grin>

Tabs won't really work, because I will never QUITE be able to make the right hand side really flush with the border. The Help was not help at all, that's why I'm here!

What you need is a paragraph with a RIGHT tab at the right margin.

Actually, I figured out a way using Tabs after all, so thanks for the hint: Create a tab on the right hand side somewhere, double click it and change alignment to RIGHT, type the text, and then move the tabe all the way to the right hand side border. Takes a while, but it works.

A faster way:

Format ->Tabs then set your desired tab location (in this case the right margin) and under "alignment" click the radio button next to "right".

Cheers.

The EASIEST method:

see the little box immediately to the left of the Ruler? Click on it and it toggles through the different types of Tab. By default it displays the Left tab. As you click on it, it will cycle through the other types: first click will display the centre tab and second click the right align tab. When you see the right aligh tab displayed, right click at the right side, lower part of the ruler. That will insert a right aligned tab for the line that you are currently editing. If you slightly miss the right margin, Hold down the Alt key and drag the tab to the right margin marker.
