I am working on a two column book (Framemaker 6 on a Mac). I have column balancing on, which I mostly like, except there are times when I think it chooses to justify vertically rather than allow white space at the bottom. The author thinks this looks awkard, especially on when the chapter ends on the right. Is there any way to tweak the column balance settings, for instance to set a percentage of the page that the column should use before it attempts to spread the lines out to reach the bottom? I guess I am looking for something similar to the option that allows you to adjust the offset of superscript characters. Does this exist?
