Default How to force Line Spacing?

In the Format Paragraph dialog (preferably by modifying the
appropriate style, but applying to a single paragraph is possible),
set the line spacing to Exactly instead of Single or At Least or any
other kind. That will force the baselines to be exactly the same
distance apart. But if a larger character doesn't fit between its
baseline and the one above, the top of the character will be cut off.

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?
