On several projects I have worked on, the ability to have text "justified" (not in the Pauline sense) has been iffy at best. The first screen shot below shows a sample word document. The second, shows the resulting PB. Any thoughts?

Weird. I got the same thing when I tried your file. It's especially weird in that full-justification is the norm for Logos resources, even Word docs that aren't justifiied show up in Logos as fully justified. None of my other PBBs have that problem.
When I copied the content to a new file as plain text, and then reapplied the Headings, the result in Logos is fully justified.

Todd -
If you still have my file, can you try to recompile the book with both files. I think that you will notice that your .docx file will become unjustified when it is paired with mine.
I am working on putting a translation that is not available in Logos into PBB for my personal use. Obviously that is a fairly large task. Right now I have Matthew & Mark, but I don't want to go much further until I figure this out!
I don't seem to have that problem (not that I don't have problems with the PB facility, but that isn't one). See below.
Perhaps it's your OS. Didn't you say you have a MAC? [6]

Satisfied now?
Now that I see your PC's results, I think your previous comments were UNjustified.[:D]

By the way... Did you catch my quip about the colts in another thread? I said that they were more like ponies without Manning. [;)]

He'll be back soon. I don't worry about the pre-season games (Apparently the Colts don't worry about them either since they generally lose the pre-season games).

On 12 May 2011, Bob Pritchett's post => What Logos development is doing included:
Windows has more users than Mac, but Mac is behind and needs improvement, and it is gaining market share on the way to 50%. We consider it equally important to Windows, and already are at the point where some new work is Mac first, then ported to Windows.

I am able to confirm the justification issue with your document in 4.3 SR-2, Alabama. And also that Todd's document is justified correctly when compiled, unless compiled in the same book as your document.
In a post-4.3 build however, both your document and Todd's document are justified correctly when compiled separately (so that issue seems to be resolved already,) but not when compiled together. I'm going to pass both your documents onto Development for further investigation into that issue.
Thanks Tonya. I will stop fussing with it. [:)]
As I mentioned previously, the original issue in this thread (a fully justified Word document not being justified in Logos when compiled) has been resolved and the fix will ship in 4.5 Beta 1 which should be available for testing in a couple of weeks.
As for the strange behavior when the two test documents are compiled together, that behavior has been determined to be 'by design'. The issue is sort of complex; let me know if you need clarification.
With 'Justify Resource Text' set to'Yes' in Program Settings, the alignment settings used in the document should be respected when it is compiled as a Personal Book (which is what you see with the two test documents compiled together.)
The exception is a document which is solely left-aligned compiled by itself. The resulting Personal Book will react to the 'Justify Resource Text' setting the same way a fully justified document would. This has to do with providing justification support for legacy resources that are left-justified. So the 'strange' behavior (though it is strange by design) is actually exhibited in the left-aligned document when compiled alone, rather than the two test documents compiled together.
Tonya -
I have read your post several times now an am still confused. Don't worry. WIth me that is easy to do. [:)]
I guess my question is this: Can I end up with a fully justified PB from the two .docx files? If so, should I set the .docx file to left centered or justified? [Note: I understand that this is with a 4.5 alpha].

Sorry, Tonya, but that sounds like John Kerry's "I was for the bill before I was against the bill …" You're managing to confuse me.

That's okay. I had at least a 20 minute conversation with the developer to understand it myself. [:)]
Can I end up with a fully justified PB from the two .docx files?
Yes.
If so, should I set the .docx file to left centered or justified?
Unless you want your book centered, I wouldn't use that one. Left-aligned and fully justified should both work as long as all the documents are aligned the same way.
So if you had two left-aligned documents you compiled together (or two fully justified documents, the behavior is the same) the resulting PB would be fully justified with 'Justify Resource Text' set to 'Yes'. As we've seen above with the test documents, if you compile a fully justified document and a left-aligned document together, only the fully justified 'part' of the PB will respond to the 'Justify...' setting.
Thanks Tonya!
