Changing the line height
I'm working on the OE version of Beowulf, and have found that some of
the characters are too high for the line, so that they push the line down a bit. I'm trying to figure out how to stop that from happening. My first thought was to adjust the line spacing to 1.5, however the extra space on some of the lines didn't go away. It was just that much farther. A search in Help only turned up articles on text boxes and 3-D graphics. So I'm at a loss. Is there a way, like in CSS or LaTeX, to adjust the height of the line, so that all the lines are equally spaced? Hope all are well. Ian -- http://bookstacks.org/ |

Changing the line height
Set an Exact line height sufficient to accommodate all the characters and/or
enable the Compatibility Option "Don't add extra space for raised/lowered characters." The latter probably doesn't apply to the characters you're using, however. -- Suzanne S.

Changing the line height
In article ,
says... Set an Exact line height sufficient to accommodate all the characters Hi Suzanne. Thanks for the reply. I messed around with setting compatibility options, and those didn't help. (I did save as a DOC file, if that helped.) I would love to be able to set the exact line height, but I'm at a loss as to how to do so. Where is the place to do that? Hope you're well.

Changing the line height
Well, you don't say which version of Word you're using, but in exactly
the same place (Format Paragraph) you set the line spacing to 1.5, you can also set it to Exactly; and then fill in a line spacing number large enough to accommodate the ascender and descender of the thorn. But what font are you using in which the OE characters cause poor line spacing? In Times New Roman (and various other fonts), they're simply regular font characters that fit with all the others.

@t2g2000yqe.googlegroups.com, says... Well, you don't say which version of Word you're using Hi Peter. I knew I forgot something! (Word 2007.) I guess I hadn't noticed the "exactly" thing before. That's undoubtedly what I need to look for. But what font are you using in which the OE characters cause poor line spacing? In Times New Roman (and various other fonts), they're simply regular font characters that fit with all the others. I'm using Constantia. I wanted the font that I found most aesthetically satisfying, and that was it. I suppose if I can't fix the problem, going with TNR would be an excellent alternative. Thanks!
