Could you post a screen shot of the table in Normal view (with frame edges showing) and Hidden characters showing? And ditto of the same section from Edit > Edit in Story Editor?

No, that link is not working. Some sort of Citrix security thing. Upload it to Dropbox of Google Drive or Box, (and there are others) and get a public download link, and enter that here in a post.

Woo-hoo! Thanks Obi-Wan. ;-)

So you’re using Imgur for screen shots? I like how you can move from shot to shot. Hrm I’ll have to figure that one out. And it’s be great for a pinned post.

What Dwayne said. I’d go with creating hyphenation exceptions as you go, or if there are too many, disable hyphenating capitalized words. GREP styles can slow processing down if you have too many.

Yes, check to see if there’s an extra empty carriage return above your 2nd column text.

Otherwise you might want to select the frame and experiment with different First Baseline Offsets (Object > Text Frame Options > Baseline Options) to see if there’s a choice and measure that evens out the two different first baselines.

Thanks Kevin!

You might take a look at Tweak Cloud. I demo’d this at the 2017 CreativePro Week conference. As a “producer” you create InDesign templates and upload them. Your clients have their own portals, where they can edit your templates, save them, and create outputs from them for social media, PDF proofing, or print-ready PDFs. (You decide which of these are allowed.) It runs off InDesign Server so your fonts and images are uploaded too, which means clients can swap in their own images and edit the text, retaining the font/formatting.
