Hallo Van,

Yes. The file sample2e.tex demonstrates the use of '\\' in the '= ;verse' environment.

I now have the following wanting to fully justify the lines but it doesn=E2= =80=99t.

Well, you must choose what do = you want. If you let LaTeX fully justify your text, you don't control l= ine endings, otherwise you can put \\ to say 'Hey I want a line ending = here'.

If you want a shorter quoting you could= use a different size to \parbox.

As an example yo= u can use=C2=A0=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 \parbox{0.7\linewidth}<= /div>
to limit the parbox to 70% of your linewidth.

Cheers,
