But note that the option is useless if your lines contain text of different
sizes, in which case the distance between baselines will no longer be fixed.

You might experiment with the Compatibility Option "Don't center 'exact
line
height' lines." The wording of this is actually nonsense, since they're
not
"centered" to begin with, but enabling this option does make a difference
in
their position. You can also experiment with the "Suppress extra line
spacing" options.

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?
