You don't have to mention that part. Unless, I guess, they ask you how long you're planning on working there, should you get the job.
When I took a job at the library in Columbus between my junior and senior years, I neglected to mention the fact that I had no intention of working after the semester started. But they had a high turnover anyway, so it didn't really surprise anyone.

You could always lie. They can't force you to stay, after all.
And although everyone is entitled to their opinion, Aban is wrong about the right flush. Dead wrong. It's only used by idiots and 15 year old kids playing with all the buttons in Word. Seriously, don't use it. You're not writing a column in a national newspaper.

I have to help people all the time with Word. It's a good program overall (unlike the hated Publisher).

Books are different. They tend to have less characters per line, use indented paragraphs, and don't put carriage returns between paragraphs. You can't use them as an example of what is correct to use in a letter.

I don't know about letters, but I've seen just as many brochures and other literature designed with fully justified columns as I have seen with ragged right. I just tend to like it better. I see alot of examples of brochures that leave the text ragged when it really should be justified.

Brochures are also different. You're correct, anything with columns in should have the text justified. But it doesn't apply to letters.

I wasn't saying it applied to letters. I was just referring to your statement that only idiots use left and right justification.
