Vertical alignment: too justified!
On my copies of Word 2000, this scenario still produces a large space at the
bottom. I go so far as to say that Justified is broken Word 2000. The Help
says that partial pages are top aligned, but they aren't, and pages with
large spaces from graphics or figures that won't fit aren't justified...
