Description Charles Tivendale 2022-05-24 08:57:16 UTC
Looking at (any) 3 consecutive lines in a paragraph, occasionally the word at the end of the 2nd line sticks out noticeably, and could be moved to the start of the 3rd line to make the para look neater. 
Likewise if a paragraph has only one word on the last line, the last word on the line before could be moved to the start of the last line for a neater look.
This ENHANCEMENT works best for short lines, say <40 characters.

First, please update to current release of LibreOffice--7.2.7 or 7.3.3, or work with nightly master.

Need better STR, how are you setting paragraph "left justified"? The paragraph 'Alignment'? Options are:

Left [aligned]
Right [aligned]
Center [aligned]
Justified [justified to page, frame, or section margin]

So are you asking about a 'Left' *aligned* paragraph?

If tweaking an aesthetic, with Direct Formatting you can adjust font size, indent, margin placement, justify the paragraph or sentence. You can place the paragraph into a Frame, or into a Shape TextBox. You can also make changes to the paragraph Style being applied.

But in general, the text is simply reflowed to respond at right margin in accordance with the Style applied to the paragraph. Full line justification will open space between words, but simple alignments use the font metric to calculate proximity to the margin and wrap text by rule.
