[EmData] InData CS4 - Controlling Line Location of Line Breaks

[Emma Glaisher]

I have heard of one other person who went down the Œcharacter width¹ route,
it sounded very impressive. I suspect this is the only really sound way to
go.

I¹ve had exactly the same problem ­ I partially solved it by importing the
data into Filemaker, doing various calculations on the word lengths (but NOT
taking varying letter widths into account, I felt life was too short) and
letting Filemaker split the lines for me.

I still had to do quite a few lines manually, but 70-80% of them were right,
which was a lot better than 0%.

Aha, I¹ve found the post from the man who did this. He actually uses the
font metrics data, which is about where I gave up reading. But it sounds as
if it works well, and if you¹re doing a lot of it, then the time spent
getting it set up would be well worth while.

Good luck!
