line spacing AROUND font
Hope I'm in the correct group . . .
PC WinXP Pro (2001 5.1, SP 2) MS Word 2002 Main problem: a LOT of unneeded 'line spacing' above & below the font itself, not the whole line (text centered on the page) Arial Black 48, but same prob with plain Arial Using FormatBorders and ShadingShadingFill: Gray 40%, Pattern: Style-Clear, Apply to: Paragraph Have already checked/tried: - verified FormatFontCharacter SpacingScale: 100%, Spacing: Normal, Position: Normal, Kerning: NOT checked - re-set FormatParagraphIndents and SpacingLine Spacing to Single. Still puts unwanted line spacing, about 1/2 the capital font size, both above and below the font - re-set same to 50, but while the non-text section is fine, the text section is literally vertically larger than the rest of the line. Example: .............*******............. ----------text here----------- ............. . . . . . . .............. _______******* (Ignoring the dashes and underlines, imagine the dots and asterisks are the outside border of the shading) Cannot understand why the shading wants to 'bulge out', as it were, above/below the text. Of course, does not show onscreen, just happens when it prints out. Thanks for any suggestions! |

line spacing AROUND font
The amount of vertical space occupied by a font if fixed in the font
definition. What will print for a given font should be displayed in print preview. If you want to shade the background less than the height of the font space, use a filled and borderless text box set behind the text. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org MzDallas wrote: Hope I'm in the correct group . . .
