Line Check

Use the Line Check feature to find widows, orphans, loosely justified lines, lines that end with a hyphen, and text box overflow. Line Check (Utilities > Line Check) moves through a document, highlighting questionable lines.

To specify what Line Check should look for, display the Search Criteria dialog box (Utilities > Line Check > Search Criteria) and check the categories of undesirable typography you want to search for.

To search the entire document, place the cursor somewhere in the text and choose Utilities > Line Check > First Line. To search from the location of the cursor to the end of the document, place the cursor where you want to start the search and choose Utilities > Line Check > Next Line or press Command+;/Ctrl+;. To continue the search, press Command+;/Ctrl+;.
