Sorry, I mixed widows and orphans before. I always do :-/ 2008/1/28, Leonard Rosenthol <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > But if you are justifying the text, what purpose do character & word > spacing serve?
The jusitfy alignment distributes only the available space in the row. But I want more space to get an additional row or two. I can simply prevent orphans in a column if I check if the available height is smaller than e.g. 2 rows, then I put the paragraph into the next column. To prevent widows I have to adjust the character and word spacing so that I have an additional row. I know I can increase the c. and w. spacing only a little, just below the visibility, but sometimes it is enough to prevent the orphan.
