Sally,

I quickly checked the FM file. You have anchored frames set with
runaround properties. IIRC, feathering doesn't get applied to any text
in a text frame that runs around a graphic (or frame). So effectively,
the feathering rules can't be applied to that text flow.

If your intent is to make each of the catalog columns expand to
fill-up the spaces at the bottom, you need to look at another
approach. 

The only technique that I can see being used, given the mixture of
anchored frames and tables on the page, is to use Framescript (or a
custom API). You would have to determine the gap at the bottom of each
column and the number of products in the column. Then distribute the
gap value evenly amongst the product name paratags Space Above
property in that particular column. Repeat for all columns in the
catalog main flow.
