TextJustification

TextJustification
is an option for Cell and Inset which specifies how much lines of text can be stretched in order to make them be the same length.

TextJustification->1 does full justification, and forces all complete lines to be the same length.

With settings for TextJustification between 0 and 1, partial justification is done.

With TextJustification->s, Mathematica will take the amount by which each broken line is shorter than PageWidth, and then insert within the line a total amount of space equal to s times this.

If TextJustification is not 0, the standard Mathematica front end will dynamically adjust the lengths of lines as you enter text.
