By the way, non-greedy algorithms for text justification, i.e. those
that do not just put as many words into each line as possible
(starting from the first) but try to reach greater equality between
length of spaces, are to slow, right? Both Writer and Word seem to
use only the greedy algorithm. (Pages does some weird stuff by
spacing out characters within words.) So, I guess that's the case. I
was just curious.
I do ot know whether they are too slow, but they are definitely more
complicated. I am not sure that the gain is worth the effort.
(TeX does this and much more for the final output, though)

Yes, maybe it's not worth the effort. I just remembered that I set all my
LyX documents to left aligned because, at least previously, the gaps between
words were just to wide to be nicely readable. I don't remember exactly
anymore what was the main cause of the gaps. I might try using justification
again to see.
I haven't been following this conversation, but I also just turn off
justification. For me though it is more because when I type a letter I don't
want all of the letters on the line to be shifted.
Scott
That one can better anticipate how the text around the cursor shifts
while typing, sounds like a good reason to turn off justification.
By the way, does any one know why this setting is a document rather than
an editor setting?
