Text goes beyond text box

[kanihoncho]

Why does text not auto return and go beyond the right edge of the textbox? It goes beyond the margin and into the "paste board"

Also the automatic spacing by paragraph when returning a line is not a proper behavior. We return sentences much more frequently than creating new paragraphs. Your default return should be sentence-based and not paragraph spaced which is basically done with another sentence return. I don't like the adoption of MS Word techniques for text formatting as MS word is a secretary's tool for writing letters that they are trying to make into a publishing tool. It is not professional and you should get more design cues from InDesign. . .

Check your options in the styles, it looks like "no break" is on.

You should not be using Return to end a sentence, except at the end of a paragraph. You should simply let the text flow to the next line automatically when it reaches the edge of the text frame.

If you do need to start the next sentence on the next line, but still within the same paragraph (which should be rare) then you would use Shift+Return.

The problem is that sentences are not auto returning. I am a trained typographer and when documents are completed by the writer, we shape the right edging of sentences (in addition to many other things) for visual appeal, phrasing, and to ensure that two exact words are not above each other at the start and end of two sentences . . . InDesign operation cues should be used not MS Word . . .

I'm not sure to understand howyou're working. I don't find differences with text behavior in QXD/ID/APub (but for justification, and that's another problem).

Can you show any example files?

And Wosven suggested one common reason for that. If you can provide a sample .afpub document demonstrating your problem that would be ideal. Lacking that, screenshots showing the Character studio panel, the Paragraph studio panel would help.

The "no break" was unchecked in the character panel. I checked it and then unchecked it and now it magically auto returns . . . go figure
