Reply To: Auto align tops of various length paragraphs across text boxes

Why not just align your text to snap to the baseline grid? That way, no matter what spacing there is between lines or paragraphs, they’ll all fall on the same exact plane.

Highlight the text, (or set this up in your paragraph styles) then click on “align to baseline grid” from the Paragraph panel. Do this for each of your translations.

To adjust the spacing between the lines, go to Preferences > Grids and set the “Increment Every” to a smaller or larger pt size (this is basically the leading). You might have to experiment with the pt size to get your text spaced correctly.

Doing this, you won’t have to fuss with tables or aligning text boxes.
