ok, here's how works.
the percentage in center, desired, want in best of possible worlds, 100%. maximum , minimum fields percentages of designed space willing live with, when said 0% telling indesign eliminate space entirely. not intended.
so presuming want designed space when possible, , willing crunch bit or extend space bit, might want number 80, 100, 110. minimum must less or equal desired, , desired must less or equal maximum. setting 2 or 3 of values same restricts possible range, there no guarantee indesign able meet request, in case whatever takes compose line if @ possible. in cases text may go overset (though doesn't happen often), particularly if hyphenation disabled , there no way break line (caused narrow columns , big words or no-break applied).
if want things tightened matter of course can either set negative tracking value in style definition, or can set desired spacing smaller 100%. opposite loosen things up. keep in mind tracking measured in thousandths of em, while justification settings in percent of font designer's ideal values, tracking uniform justification vary.
does help?
