How do I lower characters (e.g., lower semicolons by 1.5 pt.) wit.
How do I lower specific characters (e.g., lowering semicolons by 1 or 1.5
point in Century font; otherwise, it looks strange) without affecting the spacing between lines? Thanks. |

Click on Format | Paragraph | Indents and Spacing. The default line
spacing setting is "single", which means that if you raise or lower characters on a line, extra height is automatically added to that line. Change the line spacing to "exactly" some amount (try 120% of the font size as a starting point). jsg wrote: How do I lower specific characters (e.g., lowering semicolons by 1 or 1.5 point in Century font; otherwise, it looks strange) without affecting the spacing between lines?

Thank you very much; that was very helpful. (Anyone know whether, for
double-spacing, the corresponding starting point would be 240% of the point size or whether that is generally too much/too little?)

Depends on the font... try it and see if you like the way it looks.
