    I’d like to keep two paragraph lines together using normal leading while the text frame is justified. I’ve tried forced line breaks, keep options (assumed it wouldn’t work as there’s no column or frame break), etc.

    What I’ve done in the past is modify space before/after, but that won’t work in this instance as I need the available space…

    Vertical justification can be really tricky! I don’t think there is any easy way to do that, though I would encourage you to look at this commercial script as a possible fix:

    Thanks David! I did test the trial. It took a little bit of figuring out before I could get it to work, but it would work.

    For my purposes, however, I think just modifying a paragraph style’s spacing will get me the look I want. It’s honestly no more work than configuring the script.

    I have three styles that cycle styles on carriage return. The first is the name of a show, the second is the city and state, and the third is an underline paragraph style to separate with a tab set to span the column. I made the font size the same point size as the underline weight and shifted it to fit in the center. I could’ve created a table or used anchored objects instead, but this seemed to be the quickest way to typeset as the content changes weekly. Thus far, I’ve seen it be between 5-10 shows, so that’s where the justification comes in.

    Adding spacing to the underline style before and after works, but it’s manual as is the script.
