how to justify one line without affecting line above

[artemg5297430]

Hi, I'm working on a wine list. Here is the basic paragraph style that I have on each item. "Normal + next: [Same Style] + P22 Morris + leading: 14pt" with all text set to align left. Here are some screenshots of my problem.

I need the 0 to fall on the very edge of the border. When I highlight only that line. Click "Justify with last line aligned center" I get the last screenshot.

 

Notice how the top line is also justified. How can I only justify the bottom line and not the top

thank you very much for taking the time to help an InDesign noob

You have a soft return in your text at the end of the top line.

This means it pushes the line down, but it's part of the same paragraph - therefore when you justify the paragraph it justifies the paragraph, as expected.

For the desired result, you need to insert a hard return (a simple Return key pres) instead of the "soft return".

You may need to adjust your spacing in the paragraphs.

You are not using the correct tools for your desired result, so you are making your job harder than it has to be.

You can keep the soft return (forced line break), and still get everything you need without adding spaces at the start of the first line, and without manually typing in all of the bullets and spaces. Set this as a style, and you can use it on every line.

Set a right-aligned tab on the right margin, and set bullet-space as the leader.
