You have to set a fixed value for the line spacing. In the Paragraph dialog
box, choose "Exactly" for line spacing, and specify some appropriate value.
(Some trial and error may be required to make it look good.)

Hi all, I have what I think is a relatively easy to fix issue (I just
don't know what the fix is). I'm in Word 2007 and am trying to make the
first letter in a line of text larger than the remainder of the line -
like in a story book - but when I just increase the font size of course
it changes the line spacing. I tried going into the paragraph dialog and
fiddling around with the line spacing but with no result because it
changes the spacing for the entire paragraph. I'd appreciate whatever
help you can give me. Thanks.
