RE: Right-justification

["Goldstein, Dan" <DGoldstein -at- DeusTech -dot- com>]

Hi Jacque,

Thanks for the correction. "Full" justification (not "right") does work well
for marketing and other text laid out in multiple columns. I write
single-column technical documentation, so I use a left-justified,
ragged-right layout.

Thanks,

Dan
