I read this complaint a lot on some other lists and when I look at the urls
it usually comes down to inheritance issues. What I usually try to remember
is that Netscape does _not_ inherit. What little it might inherit is
usually not worth the effort for me anyway. So, I always remember: Netscape
_does_not_inherit.

Check your style sheet to see if the unjustified portions are in a
specifically defined element. Or, is a new element, such as a ul, that you
*thought* would inherit the paragraph style? Or, is the text in a table
cell -- style that cell too.

I'm sure there are plenty of folks that have _real_ answers, but this has
worked for me ever since I *discovered* CSS.
