Hey folks, it’s time for another InDesign mystery that you can solve for a chance to win an awesome prize!
This one is a lot more challenging than some of questions I’ve posed in the past, so I’ve included some hints to help you out.
Here’s the scenario:
You receive an InDesign document with text formatted in a Body Text paragraph style. The Body Text style includes a GREP style to prevent runts from occurring. In typographic terms, a runt is a very short last line of text that can detract from the appearance of the page. You can learn more about dealing with runts in InDesign in this article.
You notice there are trailing spaces at the ends of some paragraphs, and decide to remove them to clean up the document.
When you delete some of the trailing spaces, the paragraph text completely rewraps.
In other paragraphs, removing the trailing space does nothing.
Why does the paragraph text sometimes rewrap when the trailing space is removed?
This is a tricky one! If you’re stumped, check out the article on runts linked above for a clue.
This month’s prize is 3 months access to videos of any 2 days of CreativePro Week 2017.
The winner will be chosen at random from all the correct answers I receive before October 30, 2017
