Default Spaces within printed words

When I print a Word document that has 'justified'
margins, there are occasional spaces within words that
make the document look sloppy. Why does this happen?
How can this be corrected? Is there some kind of 'patch'
that Microsoft provides to correct this problem? Please
help.

Do not use full justification. To make all the lines end at the
same position on the right margin, spaces are padded. Use only left
justification. You are not printing a newspaper so people expect
ragged right edges.

What Earl said. Also check to make sure "dispersed paragraph formatting" has
not been applied in error instead of "justified". "Dispersed" is available
only in most recent versions. Spaces might be added within words to give
even left and right margins. Applied by highlighting and pressing Ctrl + J
(shift j). Pressing Ctrl + j (no shift j).

It also might be worth checking for a more recent printer driver for your
printer. Driver problems can cause the symptom.
