Oh yes, your word spacing needs work as well. Difficult with full justification, perhaps, but it needs tightening up – too many large gaps.

Just a note, your article was very useful, but did not mention what version or upgrade of InDesign you are using (CS 2 ?).

The text of your article on the web page is improperly kerned and almost unreadable in places.

Otherwise, the information you give is invaluable and well written. Just those minor changes and the page will look better.

Any news on the penetration of Multi-Ad Creator? It’s not for pub layout, but is great for ads. I used it at my first job in 1999-2002, but don’t see it much anymore.
