My text para. is set fo 'full justify' with no indents. The last two lines have excessively long spaces in them, for unaccountable reasons. I also need to _not_ justify the last line in the paragraph, but have forgotten which control(s) make(s) that happen. Please see German-language sample attached.
Zudem hat Du ein paar kräftige Tippfehler drinnen, auch in Thüringen und Sachsen-Anhalt gilt immer noch Deutsch, nicht nur bei uns in Österreich oder Bayern, wo man wenigstens reines Deutsch nach der Schrift spricht.

Use left justify.

That helped in part, but now I have ragged right edges on the page. If possible, I would like full justification on all but the last line of text.

You can tweak your justification settings (Paragraph/Justification) to try and fine tune the rivers. What Bob is referring to is your last line. You have it set to justify all lines, causing the funkiness on the last line. Set to Justify Left, the copy will be justified with the last line ragged left.
Attached are my tweaked justification settings.

Thanks, Dirk' I'll have access to a German professional in correcting all of this..
Schönen Dank, Wili! Meinen Deutsch ist nichtmehr so prima.
For all: Simple left-justification works just fine; many thanks.

Hi Jack:
If you are formatting manually, choose Justify with Last Line Aligned Left:
Oddly, the exact same option is called Left Justify (see Bob's answer above) if you are using styles. Confusing, at best.

While formatting is important, I'd strongly suggest to also put more effort into the text - especially if it is meant to be contemporary German. Punctuation, spelling - including most geographic names, even inconsistencies in the misspellings, diverse wrong translations, wrong concepts (e.g. bishop vs. diocese, Prussia was a kingdom back then). The whole thing sounds like a transcribed copy from loud reading Wikipedia, combined with a ton of wrong substitutions.
