Cant justify text

Am using CS3. Just want to simply justify text. text is in a bounding box. Am using soft returns, but type wont justify. ANy tips please. I've done this my entire career and today I cant get it to work. What's wrong w./me anyway?! Thanks folks.

I see what you meant I read your post wrong and thanks for clarifying it yes this is a bug. The soft return is actually fairly new to Illustrator and it took some doing on the part of a lot of people at the forum to make it happen.
I think they will solve this problem once they see the wisdom of incorporating another feature that is lacking which is the use of the enter key to navigate to the next column of text when a text frame has more than one column.
I think this feature will help complete the code for the text engine so it an act like other programs and as users expect.
Also inline graphics wil make it stronger as well.
Once these are there I think the code will have to remove the code that restrict such expected behavior and the major problems with Illustrotrs text engine will evaporate.

  • Justify text still doesn't work correctly in Pages 2.0.1

    Justify text does not work in Pages 2 or 2.0.1 when one wishes to specify where the lines should break. It used to work in Pages 1 by using <SHIFT-RETURN>. Does anyone know a workaround?
    Thanks.

    Hello John,
    this is because of the "sero point" where the calculation between the "text paragraph align" settings and the ruler differ. In "left aligned" and "justified" the calculation begins from the left, similar to the ruler, so all works fine. But in "centered" and "right aligned" the calculation begins from the center or from the right, but the ruler calculation is in both cases from left to right.
    This is a limitation of the overall system. To get this right, the ruler has to change it's calculation direction by setting "centered" and "right aligned", too. But you continue writing from left to right, so what about the inversion of the "left" and "right aligned" tab stops?
    I don't know if you have done this, but you can send a feedback to the developer with some suggestions about this: http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html

  • How to justify text vertically in multi-column frame

    How do I justify text vertically in a multi-column frame but within the baseline grid?
    Working at a very busy publication, fitting text evenly in multi-column text boxes are crucial to be done quickly! I understand that it can be done manually by adjusting the tracking in order to force the text to end evenly on bottom. However I'm looking to achieve that result automatically, pretty much like the "Justify Vertically" feature except by doing so it spreads the last column lines out, but I need to keep the text on the grid.

    You can ask over in scripting: InDesign Scripting

    No. Like Peter and Walt, I wonder why you'd want to, considering the appearance of such manipulation, illustrated above. Is this a requirement for some specific type of document?
    Regarding your second question, there's no way to do this using Pages as it comes out-of-the-box (or in the downloaded edition). But you can sort the paragraphs of a document alphabetically using WordService, freeware from Devon Technologies. The link will take you to their download page. Scroll down to the Freeware section and the download link for WordService.

  • Justify text in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro

    Hallo!
    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v 8.1 and I ask is it possible in Adobe Acrobat while editing justify text just like in Microsoft Office Word? I tried every options and solutions but nothing found to do that. I googled on internet about this topic and I found some picture (look below). On that picture see opened Adobe Acrobat (I don't know which version) with text toolbar just like in MO Word.
    Which version of Acrobat could be with that text toolbar? Is it possible at all justify text in Acrobat?
    Thanks forward for any help.

    To make it appear, press "Ctrl+E". It's known as the properties toolbar and can only be active when you interact with an element (e.g., form field, text box) that allows you to edit. The properties bar changes depending on what type of element is selected and the context.
    When creating a new PDF from a blank page, Acrobat allows you to use it, but as yoiu've found, when you save the document and reopen, it is no longer available. This is a special case and it will not work to change the text on a page with other documents.

  • How to justify text in a TextInput vertically

    So I have a simple question: how can you justify text in a TextInput vertically?

    Yeah, sorry, I should have given more details. Basically I have a TextInput component with a height of 48 so even though it is a one line component it looks like there is a lot of space below the text. The component in question is created dynamically during run-time. So I was tasked with making the text appear in the middle (vertically) of the TextInput. Is this not possible at all? Surely there is some way to do it.
    Here is the Actionscript code that creates the components:
    import fl.controls.TextInput;
    import flash.text.TextFormatAlign;
    var gridArr:Array = new Array();
    var w = 80;
    var h = 48;
    var rowNumber = 10;
    var startX = 5;
    var startY = 30;
    var newTextFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    newTextFormat.font = "Arial";
    newTextFormat.size = 16;
    newTextFormat.bold = true
    newTextFormat.color = 0x1E1E1E;
    newTextFormat.align = TextFormatAlign.JUSTIFY;
    newTextFormat.leading = 5;
    for (var i:Number = 0; i < 8; i++)
      gridArr[i] = new Array();
      for (var j:Number = 0; j < rowNumber; j++)
       var newCell:Cell =  new Cell();
       newCell.initialize(i, j);
       newCell.cellText.setStyle("textFormat", newTextFormat);
       newCell.cellText.width = w;
       newCell.cellText.height = h;
       newCell.x = (i*w) + startX;
       newCell.y = (j*h) + startY;
       //newCell.cellText.text = "("+newCell.gridX+","+newCell.gridY+")";
       //newCell.cellText.tabEnabled = false;
       gridArr[i][j] = newCell;
    for (j = 0; j < rowNumber; j++)
    for (i= 0; i < 8; i++)
      addChild(gridArr[i][j]);

  • How to justify text in a file?

    How do I right justify text in a file? For example:
    Checking 500
    Savings 50
    Loan 300
    NetWorth 1000
    Insurance 1000
    This is how I want my file to be formatted when it is created. Does anyone know of a way to right justify the numbers? I tried to use the "\t", tab but it doesn't work.
    Thanks

    There is no magical way to do this. Tabs can be treated differently be every editor. You must add spaces between the title and the amount yourself.
    If, however, you are going to display the text file in a JTextPane then you could delimit the title and amount with a tab character and then configure the JTextPane to right justify the amount.

  • Cfdocument does not support justified text

    I'm finding it impossible to justify text in a PDF created
    using cfdocument. I've tried both <p align="justify"> and CSS
    but
    neither work. If I change it to right or center it works
    which suggests justify is unsupported. Is this a bug or an
    oversight?
    I also tried putting text in P, DIV, SPAN, and tables without
    any luck. I'm using CF 7.01 Ent + hotfix 2 on Win2003. Last time I
    tried to report a bug to Macromedia they insisted I paid $500
    first. Does Adobe have a more professional and fairer policy?
    Is anyone else finding this forum painfully slow? I think
    Adobe should invest in an extra web server or two.
    Thanks,
    Gary.

  • "Justify" text in Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

    I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, and I'm trying to add a text box to my picture where the text is aligned to the edge on both the left and right sides.  So it's not left, right, or center aligned, it's what is called "Justify" in Microsoft Word.  There does not seem to be an icon to pick this in Photoshop Elements 11.  Is there a way to do this?
    Thanks,

    R_Kelly,
    I tried this.  You're right, Shift+Ctrl+F works!  I'm almost there.  What I'm actually working on is the design for the back of a book cover.  The thing I noticed is that the last line of a paragraph, which may only have three words, also gets "Justified" so there's huge spaces between the three words as they get stretched across the screen.  I tried inserting a carriage return after that last sentence and it didn't seem to help.  But I did all this after getting home late from work last night, so I need to play with it some more.
    It's odd that there's no pull down menu or icon selection that lets one "Justify" text in pse 11, even when I'm in the "Expert" mode.  Is it that in purchasing pse I bought a watered down version of photoshop.  Because all of the online tutorials I watch on youtube for different versions of photoshop have many more buttons to choose from on the screen.
    What's also odd, though, is that I designed a cover for a book last year, and I somehow got the text to be justified without this last line "spreading" issue.  I also seem to have hyphens at the right edge when the word needs to be hyphenated (again in order to avoid unsightly spacing between words).  I must be getting old, can't remember how I did that.  I did notice that I can duplicate the layer into my new design and the formatting stayed, so I guess I could do that and just type all of the new content.  It's just odd.
    I'm definitely going to spend more time with the Sift+Ctrl+F, because the capability seems to be there, it's just hidden.
    Thank you. 

  • Is there a way to justify text in Photoshop Elements?

    I am trying to justify text in Photoshop Elements 10 but can't find any place that I can do that.  Can I justify text and, if so, how?

    Using a type tool, click the Align pop-up menu and select any of the following:
    Left Align Aligns the left edge of each text line in the layer to the initial cursor position.
    Center
    Aligns the center of each text line in the layer to the initial cursor position.
    Right Align
    Aligns the right edge of each text line in the layer to the initial cursor position.

  • Justified text wrap error CC vs CS6

    I have a client that requires text files be set up in CS6. I have set up columns of justified text in CS6 but I have several words that are flowing outside the text box. When I open the file in CC it appears correctly.
    I tried saving some test files from CC in CS6 format but still no go. Attached are images of the issue. I really hate to use forced line breaks. Is there some other setting that I'm not aware of that could help?
    I much prefer to use InDesign for text formatting but all pharmaceutical packaging companies pretty much require the use of Illustrator and most are still using CS6 or CS5 so I'm stuck.  
    In CS6
    In CC
    Thank you!

    JL,
    You may try going through the following.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • List and justified text problems

    I'm creating a PDF that uses justified text for all paragraphs and centered headers. One of the problems I'm having is that if the last sentance in a paragraph contains just a few words, it ends up far to spaced out. It ends up looking rediculous, in extreme cases there is a word against the left margine and one against the right margin. How do I limit the space allowed between words?
    Second, how do I creat a numbered list without it indenting the left margin of the paragraph that comes after each number? I need the number to be indented, just as you would indent the first sentance of a paragraph, but the rest of the justified text needs to have the same left margin as the non-numbered paragraphs.
    Third, how do I keep the space between the number and the text the same with justified text? As it is now, it changes to acount for the number of charicters in the line of text. I aso need to keep the distance for number to left margin the same, I'm just pressing the tab button twice right now. I'm not using the list function right now because of the margine issues, I'm just including the number in the text.

    1. To prevent the last line of text from spacing out, make sure you use a hard return at the end of the last sentence in the paragraph. That marks it as the end of a paragraph, and Buzzword won't try to justify the last line of what it recognizes as a paragraph.
    2. You can use the ruler to adjust the indents and margins for paragraphs. For more details, open up the Help documentation, click on Buzzword tips (it's under Using Buzzword on the left), then click on Editing, then select the first item -- How do I create indents. It's a little tricky, but I think that you'll find that it provides the control you're looking for. Note that when you're adjusting the formatting of list paragraphs, all paragraphs in that list that are at the same list level will have the same paragraph formatting.
    3. I think that if you use the paragraph formatting (via the ruler, as noted in #2) and the list functionality, the problem of the inter-character spacing will go away.
    Hope this is helpful!
