Justification and Distribute for Japanese
OpenOffice.org
Japanese user basically use the distributed text for title of document and title of table..etc. According to JIS, it call "Even inter-character spacing". Office software should be able to use Even inter-character spacing.
- Requirements for Japanese Text Layout
Even inter-character spacing: Text set with equal inter-character spacing between characters on a given line, so that each line is aligned to the same line head and line end (see [Fig.7]). Even inter-character space setting is used in books for unifying the length of table headings with Japanese text (see [Fig.8]). There are also examples (e.g. lists of names) in which parts of a person names receive inter-character spacing. [Fig.8]: Example of a table with inter-character spacing. (note 1) Even inter-character spacing, including processing of jidori, is defined in JIS X 4051, sec. 4.18.1.
Writer
Situation on Writer
OpenOffice.org already have some furniture so we can make this layout with blow.
- limited case, we can use Paragraph -> alignment -> Justfiied/Last line/Justfied
- manually set the spacing with Character dialog ->Position tab select Spacing.
- Type some spac character.
However this is quit hard to keep the layout and inefficient way so We hope to change this situation.
Case of Microsoft Word
Microsoft Office have a two furniture for solver this problem.
- Distributed Paragraph(it seems same furniture on openoffice.org)
- Apply Fit Text Property

最近では、表計算ソフトをワードプロセッサーのように利用したいユーザーも増えている。均等割 付は、特定の幅に文字間隔を広げて均等に配置する書式設定である。タイトルなどで多く用いられ る。Excelでは、図のようにセルに均等割付できる。これには、「セルの書式設定」ダイアログの配 置タブにある「文字の配置」-「横位置」欄で「均等割り付け(インデント)」を選択すると、文字 列がセルの枠内いっぱいに広がる書式となる。Calcでも「セルの書式設定」と同等の「セルのフォー マット」ダイアログがあり、配置タブの「文章の配置」-「横に」欄の選択肢に「均等割り付け」を 設ければよいことになる。
