hello all

I have a 2 column A4 document, each 71,5mm wide. text is CMR 9pt.

there is a paragraph 12 lines long. the 12th are the 3 last letters from the word "procesos", or "sos".

I really need that 3 letters go up. I need 11 lines. they are just 3 characters in 11 lines. a single syllable.

\looseness=-1 is not enough. I also tried inserting discretional hyphens where they can be more usefull, some times helps me but not now.

How can I FORCE spacing bettween characters, words (or both). I don't care if it looks too tight.

I know that this can seems sacrilegious, but nobody will notice it!

thankyou in advance for you generous people.
