Justified

 

Do you know what justified means in 'Adobe' documentation?

So, when I purchased Adobe CS6, it was for the express purpose of putting my novel into the program to bring it to a printer. If you have ever phoned around for prices for a project, piecemeal style... as in, trying to decide what you might be willing to pay others to do versus what you decide to do because the cost is so outrageous...

you will have come to a similar conclusion, in lifes' work, as in all of lifes' work...

do it yourself or pay someone to do it.

Those are the only choices for everything... don't you find?

So, when I utilized my purchased program, I had to learn a lot things to accomplish the task of transferring my novel into this program for the purpose of hiring a printer.

What does it mean when a document is justified? In Adobe.

Well, you have choices... you can justify to the left, to the right, or centered.

So, I tried all the different ways and I looked at many books to see what others had chosen for their format.

Justifying to the right looked very strange because the spaces between letters changes to make each line end up exactly the same. Then, because Adobe doesn't seem to know word hyphenation, some words are not hyphenated properly which required that I justify to the left.

So, by the time my document, my novel, was completely justified, I asked myself this question...

Was the work I did justified in comparison to paying for the service?

The answer is... of course doing the work was justified because I haven't, yet, made any money on my project.

One other bit of information that is needed when choosing a printing company... does their 'dated' printer match the program you are using?
