Reply To: Baseline Grids without Baseline Grids

If you're using absolute leading (not auto), then you could make the subheads 36 pts or 2 pts (iow any measure you want) and it shouldn't affect your baseline alignments at all.

Triple-click the subhead to make sure you include the ending carriage return in the selection, and then look at your leading field. There should be one number in there. If it's blank, or if it has a number in parentheses (meaning autoleading), that's the problem.

If leading is not the problem, then it might help to post a screen shot or something, and link to that screenshot here.
