orvillem Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I feature that would be a great option is to have the option of a no line break before or after a paragraph. With a "no line break" option turn on for a paragraph, hitting the return key would not place the paragraph below the previous one but would keep it on the same line even though its a new paragraph. Adding space before to this paragraph would allow its position to be change on the page. We could then have one line with two different paragraph that can be styled differently. Paragraph one ns this example would have "no line break after" turned on. Paragraph two would have "no line break before" turned on This use to be a feature in Ventura Publisher in the 90s This is paragraph one This is paragraph two paragraph two continues here and here.

fde101 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 You should be able to get this effect using columns or a table, but without inline/anchored objects right now it will be a bit complex to manage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Either a Text Frame with columns or a Table seems appropriate for that. And neither should require inline/anchored objects, as the Text Frame or Table object should act as a single unit with that kind of arrangement, and it will do so today.

I would appreciate the capability too. It was a feature in every version of VP, from the 1980s until the end of VP in the 2000s. I used the side-by-side paragraphs in every technical publication (from marketing brochures to manuals) and sometimes in other publication types. Tables are an inelegant means to the same appearance. Using tables is also a performance hit to the application. It cannot be controlled easily or at all using columns without a split column feature. That too is a performance hit.
