Line spacing messed up when changing fonts

[Asaf Bar-Lev]

Greetings to all Publisher gurus!

I am working on a book with a two-column layout. I noticed that when using a
different font (but always using the same font size), the line spacing gets
messed up so that opposite lines from the two columns are not lined up with
each other. In some cases I end up with a difference of half a line at the
end of the page.

How can I solve this problem?

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Asaf.

Hi-

Have you changed the settings for space before or after
paragraphs? This will change the way your text lines up
across columns.

No, don't recall changing any paragraph settings.
What (and how) do I have to change in order to make it look better?

Hi-

If you go into Format> Line Spacing...

see if the "Spacing before paragraph" or the "Spacing
after paragraph" are set at anything other than 0 (zero).

That could, depending upon where the paragraphs fall in
your columns, cause the text to not line up across the
columns.

(Unless you have stray elements? If you highlight all your
text there should be a style, font and size listed on the
formatting toolbar--- if any of those are blank, you have
a mixture.)

Maybe some else has another idea.

I'm changing a font within a paragraph. The problem is that the base of the
font letters of the two fonts are at different heights...

That is correct, fonts are not the same height and if you change the font
your two columns are not going to line up correctly.
To get them to line up, you have to increase the font size or increase or
decrease the line spacing.
On some versions of Publisher you can increase or decrease the font size by
..1
All you do is manually put in that size.
