You will have to experiment a little to find the (fixed) value for line spacing that looks best with your font.

Thanks for the answer, Peter. However, didn't work. I have Word 2003 and 2010, and both do the same thing. I fiddled around with everything that had the word LINE in it and nothing changed. Try making a simple paragraph in 12 pt font, flush left. Make the first letter 18 pt. The space below that line will increase even though the letter is flush with the line it's on. Using EXACTLY brings the space back to normal, but also bring the larger font down just slightly larger than the 12 pt font. Increasing the font size then just make the font wider, but not taller. I'm at a loss.

there's one called "don't add extra line spacing" in various

Using EXACTLY just decreases the font size to fit the line spacing, or >> > increases all the lines in the paragraph to fit the larger font.
