vValue: String containing words which will be spread-out if the length of the string is less than the desired length of the line. Function returns Null if vValue is Null or cannot be fixed up to a String.

vWidth: The desired width of the string after the addition of intra-line spaces. vWidth defaults to 60 (sixty) characters if it is Null or cannot be fixed up to a number.

vBiasLeft: True to have words biased towards the left--space will be added to the right side of a word when there is a choice. vBiasLeft defaults to True if it is missing or Null or cannot be fixed up to a number.

Note: Function returns vValue unchanged if the length of vValue is greater than the desired width vWidth, or if there are no spaces within the line.
