Text not flowing entire width of text box

[Fred Ridder]

One thing to check is the setting of the DisplayUsingPrinterMetrics option in your maker.ini file. If that option is set to Off, FrameMaker will optimize the displayed text for readability even if this results in slightly incorrect line lengths. If the option is set to On, the displayed line lengths will be correct, but some of the individual glyphs may be slightly distorted to make the spacing come out right.

 

And remember that you have two maker.ini files that both come into play. The defualt settings are in the maker.ini file that is located in the application installation file (typically C:\ProgramFiles\Adobe\FrameMakerX, where X is the major version number). A second maker.ini that contains your personalized preferences, recent file list, etc. is located in 
C:\Documents and Settings\<your_username>\Application Data\Adobe\FrameMaker\X.0

This personal maker.ini is much smaller than the default one, and all the items in it are either supplementary (i.e. not in the default maker.ini) or are overrides of the default maker.ini settings.

> I am finding that my tagged text is not flowing to the entire length of the text box. It is flowing in at a maximum line width of 42 picas, then bumping to the next line. I do not have indents set in this tag. When I attempt to manually type additional text in the text box, it is bumping to the next line when it reaches 42 picas in length.
