First shoot, then ask, hm? :)

Apparently he's not talking about widow/orphan control, because that has
nothing to do with left/right/fully justified or centered (which are the
four common justification formats). 

Writer allows to define how the last line of a fully justified paragraph
should be aligned. In Word, it's left justified, but there is not much that
justifies this assumption: a fully justified paragraph is at the same time
left justified, right justified and centered. The last line may have to be
any of the three -- and Writer conveniently provides these three choices.
