Mike--

To me, at least, zero leading means just that--*no* vertical space between the lines of the paragraph. That's not what you get when you use this feature in Ventura. What you get is two (or more) paragraphs sharing a single column and existing inside each other's left/right indents. Even though the *text* of the hanging side head does not extend all of the way across the column, the compositional entity still fills the width of the column.

I have no idea what Adobe's point of view is, and I understand that the important thing is to have the feature, regardless of the method used to implement it.

In an ideal sense, however, it seems to me that the right way to do it is to split the text column into two or more real columns. In the old typesetting systems (I mostly used Compugraphic equipment, but it worked the same way), we could set up multiple columns across a galley (at least we could in 1977--I'm not sure about systems before that). That's what I want to be able to do here. Tables are a start toward the kind of composition we need, but we've got quite a ways to go in terms of both performance and behavior before.

I haven't really played much with InDesign CS's nested styles yet--it could be that they'll help us in our quest for easier hanging side heads.

Thanks,

Ole
