Lining-up columns

[wfb]

We've produced a great-looking brochure with Publisher that has one single
non-fatal, but still annoying, flaw.

The lines of text in adjacent columns are not properly aligned, even though
the tops of both columns are both sitting on the same guideline. The text is
of uniform font size and leading, so there's no odd line spacing to disrupt
things.

While trying to fix this, I can across another problem. In some cases, the
bottom line of text in a column isn't forced into the next column even when
the characters extend below the lower edge of the text box. This can result
in a line of text where the bottom part of each character is chopped off.

Ah.... Publisher 2003. But I've been through earlier versions.

Have you tried using the Baseline Guides?

Thanks, that was exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.
