<?tbfvj>
Description
Activates forced vertical justification mode for a table’s parent frame column. When active, the parent frame column will be vertically justified if the table is the last item in the frame column. This is classed as forced justification since it will still apply whether or not the frame itself has been instructed to justify and whether or not an overflow occurs.
With the use of tables, vertical justification becomes a nested operation. By using the text property <?tpfvj=1> text within each cell can be justified to the row depth, but the table itself is spread out within the outer frame column.
When using nested tables this is compounded and VJ must be enabled for each level. i.e. if you use a slim table to simulate columns, you need to spread out the slim table row to fill the frame, so that you can then VJ the text within the slim table column.
This command can also be specified using <?tbvjforce>.

You can set a vertical space limit in the parent frame column within which this command should be activated, by using <?tbfvl>.
