There seems to be a leading problem with Symbol Font: Set the line spacing in a Word document to Auto, or any "postive" leading. Type some text in 12 pt Times on one line, mixed 12 pt Symbol font and Times on the next followed by a line in Times. Those lines with symbol font will be shifted downward too far, sometimes running into the top of the next line. I know you can get rid of this in Word, by setting the leading to a negative value, or in MacWrite by using the 6 lines/inch feature. However in PageMaker 2.0 there seems to be no way to fix this. Consequently my Newsletter looks rather ugly. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? The Aldus folks gave me the run around, but I don't really think its their problem (though they should be able to read Word 3.01 format better).
