[scribus] Paragraph Justification (Christen)

just curious: and what does the context menu in ms office?

however, personally, i'm still convinced that the forced justification 
should be a setting in the properties palette.
you justify your paragraph and, then, go to the properties palette (or 
in the style!) and define how the last line should behave. with 
percentages to automatically switch from left aligned to justify (0% 
being always left aligned and 100% always forced justify)...

"forced justification" is an advanced setting and should be treated as such!
