Justification

By default most browsers render text with a jagged right edge. If you want all text rendered like in a book with an even right edge you can use a single style rule. To set all text to justified copy the following code into the section of your document.

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

The problem with justification is that many browsers get confused about where the last line of text is (which shouldn't be justified).

</P>

<TABLE BORDER>
<TR> <TD>Hunter</TD>  <TD>1-2039</TD>
<TR> <TD>Garland</TD> <TD>1-3593</TD>
</TABLE>
