MemberYour imgur link is not working so we can’t see your example. Post an example of your issues and we can see if we can help.
You can make girds for each text frame. Use TEXT FRAME OPTIONS and then the BASELINE OPTIONS tab and click USE CUSTOM BASELINE GRID. This will allow you to make a grid for each text box.
For returns it is best to use the type you actually need for your purpose, Standard Carriage Return, Soft Return and Discretionary Line Break etc.MemberWith the two paragraph styles check that they have the correct leading and Space Before (on the headings) or Space After (body text) that you need to get the text space correctly.
Have you removed all Character Styles from the text?
All the formatting needs done with Paragraph Styles.
Are you using align to baseline grid at all? This can easily cause a issue if not used correctly.MemberChris is correct you are using soft returns between many of your headers and body text.
It looks like you have been doing some manual formatting as the first 4 paragraphs have soft returns.
Change them all to normal paragraph returns then apply the Paragraph Styles.
If the text is as you show make the Header style to be followed by Body text and Body text followed by Header, select all the text and apply Header text and then next style and all the text will format correctly as shown.You can use Find and Replace to change the soft returns.
MemberYo can also use the find to apply a NO BREAK CHARACTER style which will also do the job

$1~S$2MemberJackie, TypeKit fonts will be embed in PDF’s and is you client uses the current version of InDesign it is by subscription and TypeKit will be included in this.
MemberWhat Hyphenation setting are you using? Check and change then to see if you ave get it to work as you want.
Also check you justification and composer settings as these may be affecting how your text is flowing.MemberThis will do it, but not with a paragraph style.
https://creativepro.com/almost-automatic-end-marks.phpMemberThat is how page numbers work. What ever format your pages numbers are in will show in the TOC.
Usually this is used for say prefix and appendix etc as these should have different number styles.
But is you want to use Roman numerals on the page and arabic numerals on the TOC I thin you will need to add the page number manually to these pages and don’t touch the Numbering and Section OptionsMemberPrinting 101
Most laser printers these days are 600dpi, inkjet printer 600-1200dpi, platesetter about 2400dpi.Adobe recommends
https://blogs.adobe.com/contentcorner/2017/04/19/optimal-settings-to-create-print-ready-pdfs/Typically, to get a PDF document with higher quality, the printer driver downsamples color and grayscale images above 300 DPI, and monochrome images above 1200 DPI.
Remember text would be considered a monochrome image so for best quality 1200dpi even if it is colour this the res you need for best reproduction,
This is what Postscript/PDF was developed for, you can do a page layout in Photoshop at 1200dpi and it will print great, but is it in anyway practical?? No, the file get too large. Hence postscript, perfect text and vector graphics and a very small file size.June 14, 2018 at 5:50 am in reply to: InDesign Crashes when attempting to change default margins #104299MemberHave you tried deleting the preferences??? Always a good place to start.
Delete InDesign preferences with shortcuts
You can delete the replaceable InDesign SaveData and InDesign Defaults files by holding down the following keys while InDesign is launching:Windows: Shift+Ctrl+Alt
Mac OS: Shift+Control+Option+CommandMemberGS1 is the standards organisation for QR Codes so visit the website for info

You would just ned to do this in a couple of places where you have multiple lines of the same style.
For you sample I needed to do this in three places and it is all done.
Try it an see how yougo.June 8, 2018 at 10:35 pm in reply to: Creating consistent multi-page documents with multiple text frames #104264MemberYou don’t need to make a text frame for each element.
From your sample layout you need three frames, 2 text frames (firts one with one column and the second with three columns) and 1 image frame.
The two text frame need to be threaded so the text will flow.
Make the styles follow each other in the correct order eg PATTERN TITLE follow by PATTERN NAME followed by DESIGNER NAME etc.
You will need to make an extra couple of styles to ensure the text will sit correctly, eg two different DESCRIPTION TITLE styles.
The reason for the two similar styles is when you want the text to move the the new text frame for column put lot of of SPACE BEFORE in the style, this can be 100pt try it it works,
Then the styles will come in the follow correctly, no need for lots of messy text boxes for each piece of text.June 7, 2018 at 2:57 pm in reply to: Creating consistent multi-page documents with multiple text frames #104249MemberPost a screen shot of what you are trying to do and someone might be able to help.
