:The problems with Word goes even further that it's refusal to use baseline
:info... even when you ADJUST the baseline (using subscript) Word STILL
:mucks the works for you because all it does is make the graphic "frame" lower
:and descends the eqt. there. Since the "frame" is still as tall as it was, it
:screws up line spacing even though what's in the upper region of the frame
:is empty:
:

this particular problem is remedied by simply specifying
a _negative_ line spacing.

I can see where someone might want automatic line spacing, but why the
heck is it the default.  And whats with this negative number?  how about
a "fixed spacing" check box. sigh.
