Pages justify line break

when using justified text, line breaks do not justify. When trying to create a specific layout, this is very frustrating.

Pages treats hard and soft returns as though they were paragraph breaks in a block of justified text. It will not automatically re-justify the uneven text caused by this treatment for either return type.


Tested: Pages v14 on Sonoma 14.4.1.


With MS Word v16.84, it behaves the same way with a hard return, but a soft return causes Word to introduce large interword spaces on the broken line to re-justify that line content. Not exactly aesthetic.
