Hi Robin,
Thanks for your answer. I am working with a Mac. Let me give you an example:
Text 5
bla bla bla nlalkj lka js kd jalk jk l.
bljah lalk djlkaj dlka jdklajd lkajdlaj
kasjdlkaj sdljalsdklak djlakj lk alsdkj
Text 6
bla bla �kla �lk�lak lk�lka� lk�lka�lkg
lk j lkjlk lkj lkj lkj ljeklfsdflkj ff
kj kjkfjg kgj kj
klj lkjlkl kl kl
kklkjlkjlkjlkjlk lk
i oi kjjj k kj
As far as I can see, VerticalJustification adds equal spacing between all paragraphs on a certain page. Let us say I want to alter only the space before those lines saying "Text 5", "Text 6", etc.
Is that possible? I also don_t know where the script should find the info. The publisher I mentioned before is still laying out books with an MSDOS programm (!) that reads paragraph definitions from an external file. Those definitions have, for example, space values set like this:
space above = 3 mm plus 2 mm
space below = 3 mm
where plus 2 mm would be the maximal value.
That DOS dinosaur lays out a chapter with 150 pages in half a minute, with leveled pages and without widows. Can Indesign CS4 do something similar?
