Hi,

Is there a way to configure paragraph alignment justification in 'MigraDoc'? Current when I set a paragraph to justification, it'll justify even 3-4 words across the full span which leaves quite a huge whitespace. My paragraph contents are dynamically changing, and it's not possible for me to use justification as is. For ex: In word justification will not span full length if there is only a few words and the span is too long. How can I mimic this in Migradoc?

Thanks for the help and great product!

AFAIK word does exactly the same, when linebreaks are used inside a paragraph.
Word doesn't justify the last line of a paragraph - neither does MigraDoc.

Edit: tested it with Word 2003 - and that's what I got:

I have found a similar problem.

Code:
         p3hdr.AddFormattedText("You may be able to take advantage of one or more of the following", _greenHeading14)
 p3hdr.AddLineBreak()
 p3hdr.AddLineBreak()
 Dim rhiImg = p3hdr.AddImage(_path & "Images/OA/Rhi.png")
   rhiImg.ScaleHeight = 0.5 p3hdr.AddFormattedText("Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)", _greyFont14)
 p3hdr.AddLineBreak()
 p3hdr.Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Justify
 p3hdr.AddText("Your assessor has recommended improvement measure(s) which could be eligible for financial support under " & _
            "the domestic RHI scheme. The support is paid at set rates per unit of eligible heat produced (in kilowatt hours) for seven years, " & _
            "to the owner of the equipment. Based on the type of system(s) that has been recommended, we estimate that you could receive around " & _
            "£00,000 per year in RHI revenues, totalling £00,000 over seven years. In some cases, metering of the eligible heat produced " & _
            "will be required. Where this applies, RHI revenues will be based on meter readings up to a capped amount.")


I would prefer that the top 2 lines do not span the whole column width.
Also, it ignores space after text.

If you'd use MigraDoc as intended, you would have three different paragraphs (not a single paragraph that looks like three paragraphs by means of AddFormattedText and AddLineBreak).
You can create styles for the headings and set SpaceBefore and SpaceAfter for the headings.

Word does the same when you put all the text into a single paragraph.

I'm afraid I don't understand this.

I agree that would be the best way to handle titles but my screenshot was not clear enough. It happens with large blocks of text too. I will do as you suggest and break each section into separate paragraphs without line breaks.

Here is also an example of spaces being ignored after '2kW':
Code:
    p4hdr.Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Justify
        p4hdr.AddLineBreak()

        p4hdr.AddFormattedText("You may be able to take advantage of one or more of the following", _greenHeading14)
        p4hdr.AddLineBreak()
        p4hdr.AddLineBreak()


        Dim fitImg = p4hdr.AddImage(_path & "Images/OA/Fit.png")
        fitImg.ScaleHeight = 0.5

        p4hdr.AddFormattedText(" Feed-in Tariff (FIT)", _greyFont14)
        p4hdr.AddLineBreak()
        p4hdr.AddText("FITs are available for the following renewable micro-generation (up to 50kW) technologies " & _
            "solar photovoltaics (PV), wind, hydro and anaerobic digestion (AD); " & _
            "and micro combined heat and power (micro-CHP) up to 2kW.                                    ") ' <- Space ignored
        p4hdr.AddLineBreak()
        p4hdr.AddLineBreak()

The last line of a paragraph will not be justified. The problem is that you use a single paragraph (with empty lines) to make it look like several paragraphs.
Simply take several paragraphs (and use them as intended) and the last line of each paragraph will not be justified.

MigraDoc treats multiple blanks like a single blank. This is a feature, not a bug. You can use non-breaking spaces to get larger spaces (but you're trying multiple blanks as a workaround that won't be needed when you get rid of those AddLineBreak() calls and use several AddParagraph() calls instead).

Adding paragraphs each time is working thanks :D
For example:
Code:
  Dim pg3HeadingRow = p3Text.AddRow
        pg3HeadingRow.Cells(0).AddParagraph()
        Dim p3hdr = pg3HeadingRow.Cells(0).AddParagraph()
        p3hdr.AddFormattedText("You may be able to take advantage of one or more of the following", _greenHeading14)

        pg3HeadingRow.Cells(0).AddParagraph()

        Dim domRenewableHdr = pg3HeadingRow.Cells(0).AddParagraph()
        Dim rhiImg = domRenewableHdr.AddImage(_path & "Images/OA/Rhi.png")
        rhiImg.ScaleHeight = 0.5
        domRenewableHdr.AddFormattedText(" Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)", _greyFont14)
        pg3HeadingRow.Cells(0).AddParagraph()
        Dim domRenewText = pg3HeadingRow.Cells(0).AddParagraph()
        domRenewText.AddText("Your assessor has recommended improvement measure(s) ...
...
  domRenewText.Format.Alignment = ParagraphAlignment.Justify
        pg3HeadingRow.Cells(0).AddParagraph()
