In order to fully justify your text, you have to draw out a text box first. You need the text box so that PS knows where you want the boundries of your text justification to be.

Here are the instructions:

Directions for Photoshop (tested in PS CS3)
Get the Type Tool.
Click and drag out a text box the size and shape you want your text to be.
Type your text.
When your text is complete, highlight all of the words.
Click the "Toggle the Character and Paragraphs" icon in the Options Bar.
From the Paragraph tab, you can now click on one of the "justify" options.

Directions for Photoshop Elements (tested in PSE7)
Get the Type Tool.
Click and drag out a text box the size and shape you want your text to be.
Type your text.
When your text is complete, highlight all of the words.
Press Ctrl + Shift + J (Mac: Cmd + Shift + J) on your keyboard.
