Bonjour à tous

je ne me souviens pas de la formule Grep pour empêcher qu'un mot de 1 à 3 lettres par exemple soit en bout de ligne (comme à, de, une...)

Merciiiiii par avance et bonne soriée

I did not know that!

Interestingly, I found these examples in other InDesign posts:

\b.{1,3}\b\K\s

as the Jedi posted, or maybe...

\b(a|an|the)\b\K\s

... and of course you would put in a string of common French tiny words instead of a|an|the.

The Change is applying the NoBreak Character Style in all these cases.

@Mike Witherell @In French, most of words with 1, 2 and 3 letters are either articles and prepositions and it is better to avoid to end lines with these words.

This simple GREP is for end of paragraphs to prevent short last lines:

Find what:

.{16}$

Change to:

Apply character style NoBreak
