Is there any way to get the correct justification in this situation?
What you need to do is to adjust the text flow around frame. You may want to use a contour line for both of these situations so that you can make the text flow exactly where you want it. In Properties > Shape, select Use Contour Line. Then, in Properties > Shape, click Edit, bringing up the Edit Shape dialog. Check Edit Contour Line, so that you can adjust it to your needs. Remember, all of this applies to text flow _underneath_ the frame you are making these settings on. In complex situations, sometimes making empty frames with text flow set will take care of what you want to achieve. Greg
