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?

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?

Yes, of course -- just type 16.05 pt in the At box for line spacing.
