Justification and hyphenation are two different (but related) animals.  
If I have no style at all then both hyphenation and justification can 
occur. But then I lose the paragraph indents. If I apply  a style 
then justification disappears. 

So perhaps my question is, how do I define a style to contain both 
justification and a paragraph indent?
