Problems with Text Distribution (justification)

I have a "label" box in a report and it spans half the page and has three lines of text (small, 6 point Arial). When I "left" align the text, all is fine, but when I try to "distribute" the text the right-most character gets truncated (only half of it prints) and the last line is spread with far too much white space. The last line is only half full, but Access is trying to spread it across the entire label box. I have played with every setting I can, and still can't get it to print properly.

Any ideas on how to solve this, apart from inserting an image of the text? The text is a disclaimer at the bottom of an estimate.

Thanks in advance.

Craig,
This is a bit of a "low tech" answer, but if you find that they layout is not adequate when you use a single label field, then why not use two or three aligned label fields to get what you want. Since what you want seems to be fixed, this approach should be acceptable.
