Bigger line spacing for the first line of a paragraph

Question

I have a structured framemaker document which is comprised of several other documents (source files). In my main document under the name of the chapter the spacing after the first line of the first paragraph is bigger than set by the formatting style. This problem seems to be recurring for the first paragraph of each highest level chapter. Inside of the source file the lines are spaced correctly. I check the formatting of my main document and the source file and they seem to be matching, so I assume it is a problem with the main document, but I cannot figure what could be wrong. See the attached pictures for more clarity. Moreover, there are cases when this spacing issue does not occur, this is also shown in an attached picture.

Temporarily delete the tgroup element and see if the spacing is fixed. Or, are there any user variables in those paragraphs? The variables may have character formats applied that use a larger font than the containing paragraph. Try setting the paragraph's Line Space to Fixed (Paragraph Designer > Basic tab).

You are welcome to send me the document offlist and I will be glad to look at it. I don't need any of the graphics. rick at frameexpert dot com
