    Is there a way to Justify text vs. Distribute?

    Word's justify function is much more intuitive, whereas, Access' distribute function will really stretch out a sentence with just a few words. Ideas?

    Nope. I expect building sophisticated word processing features into Access would be very difficult.

    Don't know if it's possible but you could try linking word to access and use the function from word?
    Never needed to link word only ever linked excel and outlook so can't help with setting it up, perhaps someone has done this and could help you out getting the link done then you should be able to use word VBA functions in access.
    Don't know if that function will though.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
