phpword addText() align justify

When I use addText() it works fine with align=center, left or right, but when I try use align=justify script works without problems, but when I try to open .docx file it gives me error and file is not openning.

It would be appreciated if someone knows solution. 

$text = "some text";
$PHPWord->addFontStyle('r2Style', array('bold'=>false, 'italic'=>false, 'size'=>12));
$PHPWord->addParagraphStyle('p2Style', array('align'=>'center', 'spaceAfter'=>100));
$section->addText($text, 'r2Style', 'p2Style');

in src\PhpWord\SimpleType\Jc.php you will find the list of valid alignment options. "justify" is not (and has not been as far as I can tell) a valid option.

const START = 'start';
const CENTER = 'center';
const END = 'end';
const BOTH = 'both';
const MEDIUM_KASHIDA = 'mediumKashida';
const DISTRIBUTE = 'distribute';
const NUM_TAB = 'numTab';
const HIGH_KASHIDA = 'highKashida';
const LOW_KASHIDA = 'lowKashida';
const THAI_DISTRIBUTE = 'thaiDistribute';

"distribute" is close, but the last line will be spread across the width of the paragraph even if it is a single word. I have had success with "thaiDistribute" and "lowKashida" as values for the "align" property. Both give a decent "Justify" as you would expect in Word.
