Justifcation settings

This whole spacing thing feels like a real broken toe joke  . Honestly, perfect justification is impossible—maybe tweak word spacing a bit, enable hyphenation, and don’t stress the tiny gaps. I can peek at the PDF if you want a quick look."

Do you want me to make an even snappier, one-liner version?

hey, i feel you. i work with full justified colomns WITHOUT any hyphenations allowed!

word spacing i usually make 90%>100%>150%
kerning i tweak as i see fit but usually try to stay as close to zero as possible
99% for glyph scaling>not more than 101%

I also usually check that last line in a paragraph and sometime manually track spacing (weird BUT i work with an OCD person). 

In addition to what Willi mentioned:

- Your justification settings are fine (though purists will frown at glyph scaling)

- Allow hyphenation, making sure to set the spacing/hyphen slider to the left (better spacing, but more hyphens). If the author then starts moaning about the hyphens, set the slider at the middle.

Best would be to prepare a few samples with different settings and ask the author to pick what they like best.

It is true, with justification you cannot have equal spaces between words.

You can allow hyphenation with the correct language and allow a mall amount of letter spacing, depending on the selected font.

Or. you can use left alignment. This would create eqal spaces, and not allow any variance in the justification settings.
