Hi Luk 

I also have had cause to bemoan FM's lack of force justification. It can be done by splitting text frames and rejoining them, but it's not simple and not really a solution if you need to do it often. I also once read another method for faking it by increasing and tweaking the spacing, but I can't remember where I read that. 

Rosemary, "a program with Quark's typographical sophistication, Pagemaker's ease of use, and Framemaker's bookmaking features" = Corel Ventura Publisher. InDesign has fairly rudimentary long document support at present, though it's typographic control exceeds FM's, PM's, and Quark's (though it lacks a kerning editor). Like ID, Ventura needs a good PC to run it well, but it has very good typographic control (hanging punctuation, kerning and tracking editors, seven different paragraph alignment options, etc) and very good long document features. 

Cheers, Dominic
