Don't let Aldus give you the runaround.  Fact is, not all 12 pt fonts are the
same height, and PageMaker ought to have some way of setting a fixed line
spacing.

What does it do with subscripts?  If an occasional subscript causes uneven
line spacing, then you can get ugly documents that way, too.  Word 3.01
does this right, although using a negative linespacing is a kludgy way to
get it to do it.
