In fact feathering (carding) of paragraphs and lines could be a text box property that is applied to the text contents/paras as an over-ride without affecting the global para style properties. >> 4) we are testing the software for use in a newspaper, I realized >> that in some text boxes with 3 columns for example, they keep the >> size of the columns equal, he leaves some columns with less text at >> the end than the other > Not quite sure what you mean here, but in 1.3.5svn there are more > advanced methods for character spacing, and styles have been split > into Paragraph and Character styles. Perhaps this will help. 'He' means 'it'. I think Daniel means automatic column balancing if the columns are continuations of the same flow (story), so all columns are the same (perhaps by applying para or line feathering to avoid bad breaks over columns.
