Default Baseline Shift with Exact Line Space

Why does Word shift the baseline downward when you specify EXACT line
spacing?

I have some fonts that have ridiculously large internal leading.
Setting DOUBLE for a 14pt font gives only 14 lines on a page with 1"
margins (compared to 21 with Times New Roman). If I do a typographic
double spacing,and set EXACT to 28 pts., Word shifts the baseline down
about 9 pt. This screws up spacing with other styles.

Is there an easy way to compensate?
