Line Spacing - Last line in Paragraph

One other work-around is to place a "soft return" (Shift-Enter) at the end of
each paragraph before the carriage (hard-) return. Don't know that this is
preferable to the pseudo-soloution already discussed, but I thought I'd
mention it...

written:
You can watch the last line of the paragraph move up or
down just by changing the "after-paragraph" line spacing. That
should not happen! Only the distance BETWEEN paragraphs should
change.

You are right, that is most odd (and it repros over here now)
Let me do some following up on this...

We found the problem when we used Gill Sans font. As soon as we changed to a
different font (Arial, Verdana, Garamond, etc.), the problem disappeared
without having to do anything special, and still retaining the after
paragraph spacing we wanted. Seems to be a problem associated with font type.

I tjust isn't on screen it's on the print out too!!!

It's the little things like this that drive people NUTS!!!

This "feature" was identified to MS back in 2004 or earlier and it's STILL
HERE!!

last line and all, ignore it.

I've noticed that in every single paragraph in my 6-page document, the line
spacing seems to change on every last line of every paragraph. If the line
is continued with another sentence, that line shifts upwards and the next
line is then spaced improperly. How do I control this behavior, or is it a
bug I just have to live with?

Suggestion from Mary Sauer seems to have fixed it for me:

Have you tried the baseline guides? You can turn them on in View menu. In the
Format menu, Paragraph, Indents and Spacing tab, check *Align text to baseline
guides*.
