Avoid lines being cut when using text wrap

Hi, is it possible to avoid something like what's happening in the picture (where there's obviously space for the line to stretch to the the edge of the column), without using baselines?

Thank You!

Hi @yeshayac ,

my tests are showing, that in this case it can make a difference if your text is aligned to the baseline grid or not.

Not aligned to the baseline grid:

Exactly. Of course you can try to adjust it with a second text wrap element:

I´ve not aligned the text to the grid because my text has often different paragraphs than I want them to look distinct but not too far apart, and the baseline grid makes them be too separated, I want them separated but not too much 😅

Thanks anyways!, I guess it's the tradeoff

I think this is a quirk, if not an actual bug, in InDesign. I find that setting text wrap to Skip by leading in the Composition section of the prefs, and carefully adjusting the positioning of the wrapped frame and the amount of offset can usually solve this problem.

I assume you mean the last line of the inset, boxed text?

Select the "full justification" alignment option for that paragraph:

It has nothing to do with baselines.

No sorry I meant this hole over here:

Okay, sorry. It helps if you draw a little on your example images if the description isn't crystal-clear. 🙂

What are the text-wrap settings on the inset box? Reduce the bottom margin until the line below remains at its proper distance (I think baselines will be required for this) but will ease spacing enough to let that adjacent line wrap.

Or set the text wrap to "Jump Object" and the bottom margin to zero.
