I have 10,000 names that need to be flowed into multiple linked text boxes. As the names are different lengths, I am getting some bad rivers. I'd like to find a script that will re-arrange the names (they don't have to be in any particular order), in order to best minimize bad rivers. Hope this makes sense.
Any ideas, anyone?

Word and letter spacing for justified text is controlled by the paragraph’s Justification and Composer settings. Changing those setting will affect the rivers. Can you post a screen capture?

Yes, I know that. I need a script that will re-arrange the words, within the same space, in order to minimize the rivers.

I'm not aware of such a script. It's not easy, and will be slow to run because you need to get all the spaces on a page and work out where they are and which ones overlap partially ('partially' should be defined) for a defined number of lines. It'll be quite a challenge.

Thanks Peter
Yes, I thought it might be a difficult thing to achieve. Way too hard for me to attempt. If you should come across such a script please let me know... it could save me days of work!
Thanks again
