Justified Text blocks without changing the distance beween words is also a
thing that is missing from the excrement called MS Word and all other
popular text processors. Changing the distance between words is a horrible
layout because it causes holes to appear in the page, it interrupts the
line, upon which your eyes are fixed while reading a text (that's why you
always use serifs for large printed text blocks).
It would be great if kword implemented this, but you need excellent automatic
hyphenation + the possibility to add manual hyphenation and you need
paragraph wide layouting for this.

None of these are implemented in either kword or QT.
