Ole: Looking at our in-house markup language which my Applescript program will translate into InDesign pages, it seems that the Justify Vertical specification is indicated after the text frame is created. I checked out the text preferences object, and a Read/Write version belongs to the application, but the individual text frames have ReadOnly text preferences objects. 1.) If I understand the implications correctly, that means I cannot change the text preferences for the individual frame after the frame is created, therefore I cannot justify vertically when the code is normally encountered. Is this true? 2.) I can still save the day if there is a tagged text command that I can use to justify vertically. I cannot find one in the Tagged Text reference. Is there such an animal? Of course we could change business practices to conform with the capabilities of the software, but I would rather not do so if at all possible. R, John
