How to force Line Spacing?

From: Robert Macy on 1 Nov 2009 16:02 Word97 on Win98FE: I need to adjust the line spacing whether a line contains slightly larger fonts, or not. I first tried outlining the text, then turning it into a table, 'none' separation, and FORCE all to be 12 pt, matching the original font. Looks great. Then I made one character 16, which should just fit, but its presence causes that single line to move down, and out of view ?? I tried page setup layout fo this one line and that doesn't work, either. So, how do I make the bottom edge of a line stay evenly spaced down the paper? Regardless of what that line contains?
From: Jay Freedman on 1 Nov 2009 16:44 In the Format > Paragraph dialog (preferably by modifying the appropriate style, but applying to a single paragraph is possible), set the line spacing to Exactly instead of Single or At Least or any other kind. That will force the baselines to be exactly the same distance apart. But if a larger character doesn't fit between its baseline and the one above, the top of the character will be cut off. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Regardless of what that line contains? Thank you for your reply. No Table, not necessary set line height EXACTLY to original 12 pt, works as I wanted.
From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 1 Nov 2009 17:03 Jay has explained how to use Exact line spacing. Another possible gotcha here (also from ancient experience): if you happen to insert a picture into a paragraph with Exact line spacing, you'll see only a narrow strip of it, and it may be quite a while before you figure out what's wrong! -- Suzanne S.

Regardless of what that line contains? Got it! However, I've got a small problem, but can workaround it (I think) All the 14 pt text highlighted, and Exact at 16 pt makes all the text almost the same total height. And, there in lays the problem, "almost the same height" For most of my uses, this will be ok, just irksome. But could be catastrophic if I neded it to match the other column beside it. So, is there some way to put in line height of 16.05 pt?
