      Hi
      Does someone know of a script that would fit the text box to the text so I can use vertical juistifcation and it won’t juistify till the bottom of the text box.
      Thanks

      I’m not sure what you mean. People typically use either vertical justification or fit-to frame, not both. You can use Auto-Size. Or you can use object > fitting > fit frame to content.

      Thanks David
      What I mean is that in a case that I have 2 columns with primary text box, then when the story finishes the last text box will be till the bottom of the page and if I do vertical justification them it will stretch the entire length of the page, so the question is if there is a script that will size the box according to the text so it won’t justify the entire length of the page.

      I think Balance Columns will help for that:

      Thanks

      The problem will be in a case that the second column has one line less so then I need to vertical justify it. (As InDesign is not enough smart to make sure that it should not end like that).
