Text Alignment -Ragged Right

Post by nevetna »

Hi,

I checked previous posts before asking this question, and I hope I didn't miss anything.

Here is the issue. My grad college wants my thesis to be NOT justified, but "left-aligned with a ragged edge on the right." I hate that, but I have to play ball. I am not sure how to tell Latex to do this. Here is my preamble:

\documentclass[fullpage,dvips,letterpaper,12pt,titlepage,edeposit]{uiucthesis}
\usepackage[left=1.5in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\usepackage{harvard}
\usepackage{pstcol}
\usepackage{egameps}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsfonts,amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\begin{document}

\title{...}

How can I turn this left-aligned instead of left-justified? I use Texshop on Mac and Mixtex-Winedt on PC. Thank you for any and all answers.

\raggedright, perhaps? Probably better to load the ragged2e package and use \RaggedRight, thought.
