    Strange line spacing issue

    Hi

    I have many price grids in a catalogue I'm producing. Each line has a coloured bullet point to represent the colour of the ink cartridge. Trouble is, when I either type or paste a bullet in certain lines it creates a space above that line (see pic). All lines have same space after/leading/baseline shift etc etc etc. IT's driving me mad!

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    Regards

    Simon

    The extra space only seems to be in lines that have the small image--I can't make out what it is--next to the round bullet. Have you looked at that?

    Yes it does. Sorry I should have explained that: the image is a camera anchored in the text. However, it isn't that because the problem occurs on lines with just the bullet aswell...

    Does your cursor change vert. dimension as you move along the lines that generate the spacing problem? Are your bullets from the same font as the rest of the text?

    Ok I was being stupid. It occurs on all the lines AFTER the camera image.

     My workaround is to not anchor the camera image.

     

    Elpy - the input is much appreciated Big Smile

     I note you've got a workaround, but I wondered could the camera, when anchored, have text runaround on it? Or maybe different leading or space after/before? My thought is to try to make it work with an anchored image as that's a lot easier to deal with than having to move lots of little images just because a line has been added in!

    My guess is that you have auto leading, rather than an exact one. If the anchored box is larger than a text character, auto leading will be greater for lines that have the anchored box.
