    That’s what I thought, Tom.

    Shouldn’t it be on the installation disk or have been downloaded. I thought at one time that was the case.

    I checked my system at home and work and I have nowhere on my system.

    Either that or adjust the indents. For example,left indent of 1 pica, first line -1 pica.

    Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but are you talking about something like auto page numbering?

    If you want the background color of your text boxes to be white, go to object styles, and click on the default text box. Change fill to white.

    Then any time you draw you a text box, the background/fill will be white.

    Good luck, Carole, and ask questions anytime! :)

    Carole, you can set limitations in the paragraph space limit. To be honest–you would have to play with the settings (it’s under “object” > “text frame options).

    I’m taking it you want this to work throughout your book automatically. If so, you will need to change your object syle of the default text box to allow vertical justification. But–that will make it in effect for all text frames. You could make a separate text frame without that justification and apply it when necessary.

    I would definitely set up text frame object styles.

    EDIT: I use picas and points, so I’d only set it to a point or two and see how that works. If you alignment is only off a little bit, that might work.

    Hey Kasper

    So far as I know object styles don’t do art percentages. What program are you using to do the equations (I’m guessing math type, but didn’t know if it was that or if you were calling equations math type)? Can you export as a PDF at 120 percent? That way you don’t have to resize in InDesign. I don’t think you can do that directly, but may need PitStop if you have it.

    So far as the indent/moving the object with a tab: Why use a tab? I would create a style sheet called “equations” or something like that and use that when anchoring your equations. I just did a book with a ton of equations, and they all centered on the text column. I had a paragraph style just for that, which I anchored to. And it included the space above/below.

    David–I didn’t mean to insinuate that you used it all the time. I was just answering why I disliked it. And I only recommended it to Carole’s original post because it was the easiest thing I could think of.

    As an aside–I’m not sure that the balance column thing would work. I get the idea things are on different leading. She wants the first line to align, and nothing else until the last line (which has to align). So definitely vertical justification I think.

    David–I did recommend using it for what Carole needed it for.

    But, I, personally, don’t like it because I’m in book publishing and using it is basically “feathering,” which is very rarely done nowadays (at least in book publishing).

    The nuisance I find with it is when we get a job in and vertical justification was used and we don’t find out until half-way through. Maybe if the original person who paged it had set up an object style it might have been easier to just turn it off from there.

    You’re right, Tom. Vertical justification is a big nuisance. In fact, I never use it.

    But sometimes it may be easier than adjusting everything by hand, depending upon how much time you have to spend on it.

    The only thing I can think of off-hand is to select the text box, go to text frame options, and choose vertical justification?

    Can you be more specific?

    I clicked the link, but I have no idea what I am supposed to click on after that.

    And when I try to back out, I get bombarded with pop-up ads.
