Hello
Thank you for this information! One of my customers uses justified
text all the time, and hated the way how FrameMaker 2022 justifies the
text just like Microsoft Copilot Office does these days.
I should have tried the ChatGPT earlier.

Yes. The setting you're thinking of is almost certainly the DoJustifyOnEOL
option in FrameMaker's maker.ini file.
Historically, in FrameMaker, if you inserted a forced line break with Shift+Enter (also
called a "forced return"), the line ending with that break was not justified,
even when the paragraph itself was fully justified. Adobe's documentation explicitly
stated this behavior.
In more recent versions, Adobe introduced the setting:
;Apply the Justify Alignment on lines ending with Shift+Enter
DoJustifyOnEOL=On
If this is set to On, lines ending with a Shift+Enter are justified. If set to
Off, they retain the older behavior and are not justified.
So, if the newsgroup question is asking:
"Somewhere, there is a setting in Frame that turns off justification on the line
with the manual line feed, but not the whole paragraph."
the answer is:
Check the DoJustifyOnEOL setting in maker.ini and set it to Off (or
remove/override an On setting, depending on the version).
One wrinkle is that the behavior has changed across FrameMaker releases. In
older versions, non-justification of forced-return lines was the default; in
newer versions, justification can be enabled through this configuration option.

Subject: [Framers] Frame justification setting with a manual line feed
Head office just recently allowed us to upgrade our Frame installations to
2022 (they’re very security conscious and it has to run with ePublisher in
Europe, so no 2026 for me). So, I have upgraded my system but I have this
niggling little thing that I believe is one of those “set once and it’s done”
things, that isn’t set correctly. But for the life of me, I can’t where to set
this.
I use justification in my paragraph formats, but on certain occasions I need to
use a manual line feed (SHIFT + ENTER). Somewhere, there is a setting in Frame
that turns off justification on the line with the manual line feed, but not the
whole paragraph. That way, you don’t get stupid looking things like this in
your glossary:
CE European Conformity
(Conformité Européenne)
Any chance anyone knows what that setting is?
Alison
