Reply To: Aligning Text in Columns

If you are going to continue this discussion, I have some thoughts about this Justify command.

Remember, I am using only two columns. I want the first and the last lines to align across the columns.
I only need to Justify when the last line of the one column is just a tad off. So using the Justify command is perfect for this task.

After playing with this a bit, it is obvious that the Justify command cannot be the default unless limitations can be set.

So now I have a question. And I am sorry if it sounds stupid to you pros, but I am struggling to learn InDesign well enough to put one book together. Just this one book.

So my question is can the Test Frame Option to Justify be set – I don’t even know how to say this – so there is a limitation to how far off the alignment is? Beyond that limit, no justification would take place.

If not, I will justify page by page if need be.
