Is there any script to fine -tune the lines of text selected, so that they are full of text boxes?

When I adjust the directory, I often encounter inconsistencies at the bottom.
I used to align both ends, but later I found that it was not very useful.

I am now fine -tuning the line, either increased the distance, fill it, or reduce the line of row.
IIs there any script to fine -tune the lines of text selected, so that they are quickly full of text boxes? 

That must be great
Two functions: sometimes+, sometimes--, One with a script panel.

Thank you~

As per previous discussion - about baseline alignment - you need to define Baseline Grid in hour document - and set all texts / ParaStyles to align to it.

I tried to keep the options.
It is too rigid.
I now need to be flexible control, not fixed rules.

You either want text in TextFrames to be aligned or not - otherwise - it will look very bad. 

 

And as always - you need to be more specific...

If you need text to be top and bottom aligned - you need to set vertical justification to justified - in the TextFrame or in the ObjectStyle applied to your TextFrames - but if your TFs won't be fully filled with text - spacing between text lines in between won't have the same spacing...

Your head style has a space above that equals the leading and maintains the baseline alignment, so it doesn’t fit on the last baseline. Your only choice would be to override and set it to 0— but then it doesn’t match the other heads. I would leave the empty space.

Right, I don't understand how you expect a script to fix the problem. If you want to keep the baselines aligned, there are only 2 choices, which I am showing above-- both create inconsistent spacing.

This is just one situation.
There are other cases, using fine -tuning spacing is a more suitable method.

You should really stop thinking like that - and you really should get some even basic training. 

 

You should ALWAYS have your text aligned to the Baseline Grid(*) - otherwise, your text will look awful. 

 

(*) You could avoid that - but it would require a lot more work - defining a lot of additional ParaStyles - for each possible situation in the text - and precisely define spacing before & after. 

 

That's why Align to Baseline Grid is the easiest method. 

 

In the case from your screenshot - you should either find a way to add extra row somewhere before - even if it would have to be a few pages before - or simply make right text column shorter. 

 

Take ANY book or ANY newspaper - do you see anywhere situations, where "body" text is "jumping around"?

Yes, you can use scripts like Adobe's Auto Leading plugin for InDesign or Illustrator, or tools like Justify Text or Align Text in Photoshop to fine-tune text alignment and spacing automatically. These tools help adjust text boxes to fill spaces effectively.

This is some kind of AI spam. Just in case you attempt to look for these "plugins".
