<p>Hi Kate,</p>
<p>as Thai does not have spaces between words, you will absolutely need a native speaker to break lines manually and to split up the text in the correct way. Given this, is seems obvious that it is not advisable to use the "justified" setting.</p>
<p>Until now, there was no feature in FrameMaker -- built-in or accessible to users -- to deal with this automatically (I would be surprised if Indesign could do it...). <br />I do not think this has changed in FM 2015. Have you worked with Thai before?</p>
<p>Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;">Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;">I’m doing some Thai testing in FrameMaker 2015 and while there are no issues with the text displaying correctly, I’m having trouble with the formatting. The paragraph style is fully justified and where in InDesign, the Thai would follow on until the edge of the frame and then flow on to the next line, in FrameMaker the text is breaking after almost every sentence. If it is a long sentence then it will start on the next line completely, even if there are only one or two characters on the previous line. This is leaving massive gaps in the paragraphs. Any suggestions as to how to stop this from happening so that the text flows normally?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;">Many thanks,</span></p>
