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.
ak

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.
