Hello everyone,
I’ve looked up this topic, but it doesn’t seem to have occurred yet. I am at the end of a piece, and I’ve written down the piece’s text on one page, to have it all together. Since it’s a long text in verses, I’ve written in on 3 columns [in 3 different frames] so as to make better use of the page.
Now for some reason, the texts are not aligned (if I’m right, the 2nd column’s text is not aligned with the others). The columns are exactly the same height (21mm from the top margin, 0mm from the bottom), and the text is alignement is set to top in all 3. All 3 columns are 100% 10-pt font size, and as far as I can tell all other settings are the same, yet as you can see, the text lines at the bottom of the columns are not aligned. Could someone help me figure out why?
Thank you very much
Obviously a blank line takes more vertical space than a line with text. See 2nd column vs. 3rd column: the [Padre] baseline is already different. Check if you have a “gap after paragraph” in your paragraph style. If not then check if the blank lines contain spaces in a different font size.
So “Gap after Paragraph” was set to 0.
But I checked and indeed, an empty line had a bigger font size. What I don’t understand is how this is possible as I selected all of the text several times and set the font size to 10 pt. Indeed, I just re-selected everything and the text pop-up still shows 10 pt as font size although for some reason blank lines are 12 pt? Do new lines not count as characters or…?
In any case I’m having to change the font size of each blank line individually which is rather odd, because selecting Cmd+A and setting font size to 10 doesn’t seem to affect them.
I cannot reproduce the behaviour you described. But I would recommend to create a new paragraph style for the text. In this paragraph style, make font size 10pt, then select all the text in the frame and assign the new paragraph style.
