On my figure legends page, I am using 14 pt font (larger). I have 3 figure
legends on the first page. The first two figure legend paragraphs look the
same with the same font size and line spacing upon printing. The third
figure legend paragraph, however, looks compressed vs the other two figure
legends even though the font size and spacing are the same. I have tried
many things (going to the next size larger font, increasing line spacing,
resetting the entire document to large font, single spacing and then taking
it back to double-spacing). No matter what I do, the third figure legend
paragraph is compressed - as though it is using 1.5 spacing instead of double
spacing...or like the font is a single point smaller.
Measuring the output with a ruler, the spaces between lines in the first two
figure legend paragraphs is 5 mm for all lines but for the third figure
legend it is 4 mm. It adds up and is obvious to the eye. The first figure
legend does contain some dingbat symbols but not on every line. The second
paragraph/figure legend contains normal text like the third yet the line
spacing is a mm different.
How do I force the third paragraph to use 5mm spacing like the other
paragraphs?
