      Hi there… i couldn’t find the answer to this question in the forum, so…

      I would like to create a rule above a heading that has always the same distance between the top of my heading font and the paragraph rule, independently the heading font size. Let me explain.

      Say i have a heading font size of 72 pt and a heading rule above with an offset of 24 mm. When i change the heading font to 36 pt the distance between the top of the heading font and the heading rule increases, because the offset setting is still 24 mm. To keep the distance the same i need to change the heading rule offset. Is there a way or a work around to keep the distance always the same, independently the heading font size, without changing the heading rule offset manually every time?

      Hope you understand what try to achieve! Thanks!

      Instead of a Paragraph Rule, you could use Paragraph Border and set it to a border just on the top side. Then set the offset to Ascent:

      Hi David,

      To be truly “precise” … the way with the “Paragraph Border” setting doesn’t work!! But it could be “acceptable”.

      Best,

      Why not using different paragraph styles as per your needs?
