Hello all, 

I've noticed what I consider to be a minor problem in Framemaker 7.0 (Windows 2000), and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. 

The problem is that paragraphs with "left" alignment often break lines too early on the right. For example, framemaker will move a three letter word down to the next line even though there is still an inch of space between the previous word and the right margin of the text frame. If I set "right" alignment, it will properly move the three letter word up to the previous line. (Leaving less of a gap on the left, but the point being that it properly fills a line with "right" is used.) 

This behavior is very font dependent. If I use Times New Roman, it's very bad. If I change the font to Arial it isn't too bad. The indent settings for the paragraph are zero on both right and left, single column text frame. Hyphenization doesn't make a difference in this behavior. (Well, it will hyphenate words at the magic invisible barrier instead of wrapping the whole word down, but the problem is still there.) 

It basically looks like there is always a right indent value of at least 0.5" set whenever the font is 12 point Times New Roman. 

This isn't a killer bug or anything, but it does seem pretty silly in a what is supposed to be a page layout program. What's the point of setting margins and right indents if the program then word wraps a half an inch in front of them? 

Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a fix for it other than using "justified" alignment? I'm not looking for all the right ends of lines to be even as in a justified setting, I just don't like the fact that it only uses a portion of the column for no apparent reason.
