Positioning lines

[UncleClyde]

I want to make three or four lines of text on a page. The booger is
that I want each line to be on a baseline that I, not Word, specify.
Each line will be a different size type with the spacing between lines
to be adjusted as I want.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Top

First Line


Second Line

Third Line

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bottom


I want to fix the baseline of each line so Word doesn't dink with the
spacing I select.

How can I fix the baselines as I want?

Thanks

Format paragraph. Space before = distance between current baselline and
baseline above.
Space after = 0

In my test, I set the line spacing to exactly 12 pt. It does not seem
to care what you change the font size to, the baselines stay fixed.

Even when the font size is greater than the space above, the baselines
stay put, the text gets chopped off at the top.

Pretty easy really.
