Problem

Symptoms: Every time a user adds a Line Height code to a line, WP adds 2-3 points of space between the current line and the next line. This shows up in View Document as well as in the printed document. The remainder of the paragraph (after the first two lines) is just fine. It doesn't seem to matter if there is bolding or other attributes within the text, WP simply adds space. Solutions: Development states, "Line height affects the current line, which consists of an ascender and descender, in a ratio of 3:1. WP assumes that line height approximates the font, and so it divides the line height 3/4 to the ascender and 1/4 to the descender. This has the effect of smoothing the transition from one point size to another, but it means that you cannot measure from baseline to baseline and see the change take place immediately. There is a transition line whose height consists of 3/4 of the new height and + 1/4 of the old height. Setting Baseline Placement For Typesetters to Yes eliminates these transitional lines in fixed line height if that is the effect you want."

A user changing the font/attributes in the middle of a word found that some of the letters were being offset up or down from the baseline. Changing the Baseline Placement For Typesetter option to Yes will also correct this problem.
