Hi Dwayne,

Thanks for all your questions. For the record. I’m not wild about baseline grid. I’m not sure it’s necessary.

1. Rule pops outside of the text frame. Is there a way to keep it inside? That might solve my whole problem.

2. Hard to answer. Ideally, I don’t use baseline grid alignment. That way, all tops of text frames and tops of text, regardless of size, would align. I know this isn’t everyone’s preference. But you either gotta pick baseline or top of text, right? : )

3. Ideally, I’d like the regular text column (top of text) to align with the rule above the head in the other column.

4. I need to nudge the head-with-rule-above down about 4-6 pixels.

I have a small screenshot you can take a look at. I’m at jane (at) allegro-design (dot) com

If you mean in that Paragraph Style > Advanced Character Formats: I have English: USA already set.

Under Preferences > Dictionary: at the top it says English: USA but Hyphenation says: Hunspell. Do I want proximity instead?

Thanks,
Jane
