line break without starting a new paragraph

Post by kostoglotov »

Hi there,
I would like to ask you...
In my document i don't like to see loose letters at the and, such as "a" etc. But when I insert in front of that letter "a" \\ or \\* - it forces "a" to go on the new line but leaves the gap in the previous (it is not the new paragraph but it still leaves there that gap) - it is not justified any more... Would anyone know what to use in order to start a new line but at the same time have justified the previous one as before?
Thank you.

Hi,

you could use \linebreak instead of \\ or \newline.
But consider to write a non-breaking space by a tilde ~ after the one letter word instead of a manual line break.
