I regularly use other applications for page layout and I have been asked to
do a newspaper-style layout in Publisher.

I can set text in text boxes to align top, centre or bottom -- but
apparently, not to justify. I cannot believe that Publisher 2007 is unable to
offer a basic operation such as this. Do I really have to justify each column
manually?

Right-click the text box, format text box, text box tab, columns.

To go to the next column to create uneven columns----ctrl+shift+return
