Default Baselines of fonts at the same height

pnumminen was telling us:
pnumminen nous racontait que :

Two adjacent cells contain text of different sizes. In Word 2003 and
2007, is there a way to vertically place the texts so that the
baselines of the fonts will be at exactly the same height?

The Wikipedia article about the baseline:

I do not think that you can do that automatically.

Different fonts and different font size use a different space below the base
line for the space needed for "p", "q" , "j" etc.

You will have to play with the cell internal margins manually, or paragraph
space before/after, as I suspect you have been doing.
