Flush Zone Script

May 11, 2012 4:58 AM

Hello there,

I want to write Flush Zone Script like this:

Enter a value in the Flush Zone Field to specify the area within which the last word in the last line of a justified paragraph must fall in order to be justified.
Use Forced Justify to justify the last line of a paragraph if it does fall within the specified Flush Zone.

Please suggest me a way to do this.

Thanks in advance,

Olfarr

How about set tab at the end of each justified paragraph, read its position and calculate the offset form the right side of the textframe?

Any idea?

Why? Simply use the last character's insertion point position:

and compare it to the current text frame width. (Don't forget to take into account that the paragraph could have a right indent or last line right indent.)
