Line Check
Use the Line Check feature to find widows, orphans, loosely justified lines, lines that
end with a hyphen, and text box overflow. Line Check (Utilities > Line Check) moves
through a document, highlighting questionable lines.
To specify what Line Check should look for, display the Search Criteria dialog box
(Utilities > Line Check > Search Criteria) and check the categories of undesirable
typography you want to search for:
• Loose Justification is a justified line containing word or character spaces that
exceed the maximum word or character space values in the hyphenation and
justification specifications applied to the paragraph.
• An Auto Hyphenated line ends with a hyphen placed by the automatic
hyphenation function.
• A Manual Hyphenated line ends with a hyphen entered by a user.
• A Widow is the last line of a paragraph, less than a full measure wide, that falls
at the top of the following column or page.
• An Orphan is the first line of a paragraph that falls at the bottom of a column or
page.
• Text Box Overflow occurs when text cannot be displayed within its text box.
This condition is represented by an overflow symbol in the lower right corner of
a text box.
To search the entire document, place the cursor somewhere in the text and choose
Utilities > Line Check > First Line. To search from the location of the cursor to the
end of the document, place the cursor where you want to start the search and choose
Utilities > Line Check > Next Line or press Command+;/Ctrl+;. To continue the
search, press Command+;/Ctrl+;.
Custom Underline
The Custom Underline feature lets you customize the color, shade, width, and offset
of underlines. Custom underlines behave much like type style underlines, but can be
customized with more control over the underline attributes.
