My font character is designed appropriate. Yes, originally, my paragraph
spacing was set to single. I changed it to an exact point measure, starting
with about 80 points of leading. On the screen, the character moves up,
appropriately, but, it also shaves off the top of itself so that you can't
see the top half of the character. I tried a variety of leadings and they all
chop it off. When it prints, though, it looks good. But, that's no way to
work in a page layout program. And, as I said, this strangeness occurs if I
were to use boring old Arial, too, so, the problem has nothing to do with my
font.

I tried putting the character in the header, as you suggested, Suzanne. That
did work, but, it's still shaving off the top of the character. And, in a
text box, it behaves exactly the same.

What I've ended up doing is simply giving my colleagues actual printed
letterhead and showing them how to put it in the printer so they can type
their letters with it.

Thanks, anyway. Word is a very good word processor, but, it's unbelievably
bad as a page layout program.
