I've read many threads here and around the net, but still having trouble with something and grateful for some help. I'm laying out a book in Graphik Medium 9pt, with 13.4pt leading The text has two header levels, and I would like to have as much control as possible to set the spacing before and after each header. The baseline grid is set to start at 0pt relative to the top margin, and on the suggestion of a designer, set to increment every 3.35pt (1/4 of the leading of 13.4pt) Body text is set to align all lines to baseline grid, and headers are set to NOT align to the baseline grid. However I am unable to get the body text to align properly after setting the headers the way I like them. Furthermore when the headers come at the beginning of the text frame, it also throws off the alignment. - Is setting the increment to 1/4 of the leading a good idea? - If not, what other options do I have to give the greatest level of control over the space before and after the headers? - I've seen some people suggest that the Text Frame options be set so that the First Baseline Offset is "Fixed" - Will this help? One final problem which is frustrating is that sometimes the text will not display in the last line of a text frame. If I extend the text frame below the margin, the text appears, and looks like it is sitting correcly above the margin, but when I close it back up again, then it flows that line into the next column. Grateful for any and all suggestions.
