    I have an image and the bottom text wrap offset is set to .5 inches. However, the text is farther away than .5 inch (by about 3/32 of an inch or so). With the image selected, I can see the text wrap offset frame, but can't get the text to butt right up to it. I want the ascenders to be .5 inch away from the image.

    I have unchecked “skip by leading” in the preferences and it is not set to align to baseline grid. The text frame does not have any inset spacing or unusual settings.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Change the leading of that line? The extra space from the leading will stick above and below the font. Note that 'ascender size' doesn't really have to do anything with the actual font size, so setting the leading to the same size as the font will most likely not work.

    Changing the leading will cause trouble if the text is larger than a single line. It might be simpler to adjust the offset-below by eye, or using some tactically placed guidelines. You can move the outline of the text wrap with (from memory) the white arrow — make sure you select both bottom anchor points.

    A little more info…

    This is a 500+ page textbook with hundreds of figures. Sometimes the text is right up against the text wrap offset, sometimes it's not. I can't really treat these on an individual line-by-line basis. I'm hoping to fix whatever quirky thing is going on and get them all consistent.

    Any other thoughts?
