How to shrink title without changing the font size

Sometimes when you are writing a title, one last word jumps into the next row. If you don't want to change the font size, there is another way to deal with these so called widow words.

This is what I'm talking about. It doesn't look nice and I want to keep the font size. What to do?

Simple. Select the whole text ...

 
 
3.
 

... right click the selected text and choose Font...

 
 
4.
 

In the font settings window, click the Advanced tab.

Choose Condensed as Spacing and set the according spacing size.

For me it was 0,3 pt

And the poor lonely widow word jumped back to the previous raw and they lived happily ever after. ;)

What the Spacing function does, it defines the spacing between the letters. Don't over do it though, if you set the spacing to low, it can make your title look even worse.
