I have 32 jobs to produce with justified type. All the other alignment options work fine. When I choose the justify option in the Paragraph box the type becomes flush left with a few spaces on the right. I've checked hidden characters, tried copying and pasting, re saving etc. Anyone else had this happen? Better yet... anyone have a solution? I've spent 2 hours trying to figure this stupid thing out.

Thx

Diane,

Which alignment option are you choosing? Should be the fourth one along. When you say there are "a few" spaces on the right, do you mean one space at the end of each paragraph (this is expected behaviour) , or do you have a ragged right margin?

I've seen oddities with spacing of type in AICS too. It hasn't bothered me, although I don't look forward to re-setting all those text blocks when the bug is fixed.

The extra spaces occur at the end of each line in a multi-line block of text.

1. You are in an AREA type block? This is not POINT type we're talking about, righ?

2. Have you tried the Optical kerning and Optical margin alignment options?

I almost never use area type, I've seen the problem exclusively with point type.

Try area type. May not see the problem.

I'm using the 4th text alignment option. Yes, it's ragged right. not the normal space at the lie break.
Any suggestions?

When you use point text every time you use a return you make a paragraph then when you apply the justification it does justify it but for each paragraph which is each line.

When you use area you don't hit the return to go to the next line you keep typing until you reach the maximum text measurement it is only when you hit return you make a new paragraph.
