Word – How to prevent Word 2010 from stretching lines to keep words from breaking

microsoft-word-2010

I have this citation:

Rudder, Sara Wallace. "Unmasking the Medical Millionaire Myth." Your Healthcare Financial and
Money News Resource | Physician's Money Digest. Physician's Money Digest, 16 Sept. 2008. Web.
06 Nov. 2011. http://www.physiciansmoneydigest.com/issues/2007/126/5281.

but Word streches the next to last line because it wants to keep the URL on one line.

I don't think this looks good (I'm using MLA style), so how do I stop it? (Or is it fine?)

Best Answer

Change the paragraph justification from 'Justified' to 'Left'.

enter image description here

Usually it can be done just by selecting the left justification button as shown by the first green arrow. However, you may need to go to the paragraph properties (or the properties for the style) and change it on the Paragraph Properties screen shown below.
