wellokaywhatever Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I think I hit a roadblock. I want the distance between the headlines and the text body to always stay as seen in the left box. When I move around the boxes in my layout or expand them (like in the right box), the gap starts to jump around, because the body is aligned to the baseline grid and the headline isn't. Is there any way to fix this? (In InDesign there's the option to only align the first line of a paragraph to the baseline. But that's not possibler in Affinity, is it?)

Old Bruce Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Welcome to the forums @wellokaywhatever, When this sort of spacing is necessary (distance from header to body text) I will turn off Align to baseline grid. I use Exact spacing for my leading in my Paragraph Styles.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellokaywhatever Posted October 3 Author Share Posted October 3 I'm working with many textframes across my pages and need them all to be in register : / So that workaround won't work for me, sadly. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 Are you using a separate Text Frame for your headline? If so, perhaps don't do that?

Old Bruce Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 You could try using a Baseline Grid with a finer resolution. Maybe the Align to bottom would work better than the usual Align to top. Use a regular grid to align your various text frames and have the Baseline Grid turned off. If the text frame in the Left is what you want then why resize it? wellokaywhatever 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

wellokaywhatever Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 Oh my god, Bruce, thank you so much. I knew he solution was gonna be something stupidly easy that I just wasn't seeing. Doubled the number of baselines and voila: it works as intended now. @walt.farrell Both are in the same text frame : ) I'm working on a book with very different layout on each spread. I move the boxes around a lot to see what composition fits. Until now I always had to manually adjust the top border until the spacing was right. But I don't have to anymore now! Thank you so much for your help! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
