How to add padding to images/chart in MS Word with 'in line with text' wrapping?

I have a justified paragraph at the end of a two column page. On inserting a chart with "in line with text" mode under text wrapping in the middle of the paragraph, the image appears fine.

How can I add spacing (padding) just above the image as below without using Enter key?

If I press Enter, the justified text is not justified anymore and the lines following the image of the same paragraph doesn't seem continuous.

In the image below, I want to add spacing after 'was' keeping the paragraph justified (with 'was' on the extreme right').

On pressing enter the spacing is added which I want but the text is not justified anymore.

Is there a work around this in Microsoft Word 2007? I don't mind changing the text wrapping mode if that solves the problem.

On pressing enter the spacing is added which I want, but the text is not justified anymore.

Use shift+enter instead of enter.

This will insert a line break instead of a carriage return and preserve the justified text of the previous paragraph.

In Word 2010 you can set the wrapping style to "top and bottom", which unlocks the "Distance from text" setting. Not sure if this is in 2007, too, though.
