re: "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?"

It's not true. The text frame preference *object* might be read only, but its properties are read/write (or most of them are, anyway).

Once you have a reference to the text frame, you can freely set the properties of the associated text frame preferences object.

re: "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?"

There is no such tag in the tagged text markup. Vertical justification is layout attribute; tagged text markup specified text stream formatting; they are fundamentally different things. Vertical justification must have a container to work with (if it didn't, how would it know how to do what it needs to do?)--and tagged text does not create containers.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
