Using Adobe Paragraph Composer

InDesign has two ways of composing (laying out) text. Single-line composition looks at the current line and evaluates the best place to break the line or apply hyphenation. Paragraph composition looks at all the text in a paragraph forward and backward when it evaluates the best place to break lines. When paragraph composition is turned on, the result is more even spacing for the text and fewer hyphens .

Turn on Adobe Paragraph Composer to improve the spacing between words.

To apply paragraph composition:

1.	Select the text.
2.	Choose Type > Paragraph to open the Paragraph palette.
3.	Choose Adobe Paragraph Composer from the Paragraph palette menu. The text reflows. Tip Adobe Paragraph Composer is a paragraph attribute and is applied to all the text in a paragraph. Tip Adobe Paragraph Composer is turned on by default when you first open InDesign. Tip Choose Adobe Single-line Composer to apply standard line-by-line composition.
