Reply To: Aligning baselines between columns

My 5 cents: I had a very similar problem while layouting in a magazine style a 500 pages book with over 400 images and hundreds of boxes. Let me tell you this: even if one follows Dwayne’s recommendations (which are good), in this kind of publication ID falls short of all previous DTP software. In my case, spending dozens of days I was able to come up with a reasonable layout, but far from what I wished. Simply put, ID is NOT the ideal software for complex layouts, with several fonts (32 in my case), images of several sizes and imbedded boxes. In PageMaker, Quark and Ventura Publisher this was a breeze.
