Align text in multiple columns

[jkstowe]

I have a word 2007 document with two colums and need to get the rows
of text to line up horizontally with each other. the document is
using a heading style with each heading at font 11 and body text at
10. paragraph spacing set to auto and line spacing set to exactly
14. is there a way to force the columns to have rows of text line up?

Only by converting the columns to a table. See

If you are striving the typographic nicety of aligning type across the page
as in most published materials, you are part way there. Try changing the
paragraph spacing to zero or 14 points. Also, the heading plus spacing should
to be a multiple of 14 points. The zero paragraph spacing setup reads best
if you indent paragraphs.
