options in the Object panel. (For more information, see “Setting paragraph indents, paragraph

To apply a border to the table, see the procedure above for applying a stroke to table rules
or borders.
Balancing columns of text
The Adjust Columns options in the Object panel let you copyfit text by balancing text among
columns, modifying leading, or altering the text size and leading proportionally to fit the selected
text block.
You can also use the Adjust Columns options to make text inside an irregular object fit that
object exactly.
To insert a break in a column and force text into the next column:
1
Using the Text tool, place an insertion point in the column where you want the text to break.
2
Select Text > Special Characters > End of Column.
To balance lines of text evenly among columns:
1
Use the Text tool to place an insertion point where you want to apply text balancing, or use the
Pointer tool to select a text block.
2
Display the Adjust Columns options in the Object panel. For more information, see
“Displaying type attributes in the Object panel” on page 248.
3
Select one of the following:
Balance
distributes lines of text evenly among columns. If the number of lines is not evenly
distributed among columns, some columns will have more lines than others.
Modify Leading
adds leading so that text fills the column from top to bottom. For Threshold,
enter the percentage a column must fill before modified leading is applied. For example, with a
threshold of 50% (the default setting), extra leading is applied only to those columns that are
at least 50% filled with text.
4
To reduce or enlarge text size and leading to fit the column size, enter minimum and
maximum values for Copyfit %, measured as a percentage of the current size. Values
larger than 100% increase text and leading size; values smaller than 100% decrease text and
leading size.
