Problem with run-in heads
Roger, I recall seeing this problem on FM 7.0, although it wasn't related specifically to run-in heads, but to having any heading in the first column-- and, offhand, I can only remember it happening when the very first line of the first column was a heading. I can't find a document exhibiting the behavior right now. I am on FM8, now, and maybe it's no longer an issue. But I did find a note I made on solving the problem: "Unchecking the Fixed Line Spacing checkbox fixes the column alignment problem, but then text containing superscripts and subscripts causes problems with line spacing instead." Maybe that will help point your toward a fix, but be aware that I may have made other changes that affected the behavior, after I made the above note.

Do your run-in heads have a larger font size, or a space above or below? Those could cause a misalignment with the other column. Adjustment of the space above should be able to bring them back in line.

Problem with run-in heads
Your post confuses me a bit. As I read it, you have two separate columns on the page, do you mean your master page has two columns? If so, then the run-in headings won't work. If you are using a single column master page with a run-in heading and a paragraph following it, then Stuart's comment is correct and equalizing the font, line spacing, above and below spaces, should correct your problem.

Problem with run-in heads
I'm glad to be back after a long absence from Framers, and I am still on FM 7.0p579. I have a problem with run-in headings in a double-column format. All paras are set to 10pt fixed and there is no line feathering, but the run-in heads are misaligning the baselines across columns. A page full of text with no headings has perfect alignment; add a run-in heading and the right-hand column goes out of alignment from that point onwards. Setting columns to balance makes no difference. I need the run-ins because I want two paras on the same line, with automatic running heads picking up on one of them and not the other. Any clues, anyone? All the best Roger Jones

Problem with run-in heads
I'm glad to be back after a long absence from Framers, and I am still on FM 7.0p579. I have a problem with run-in headings in a double-column format. All paras are set to 10pt fixed and there is no line feathering, but the run-in heads are misaligning the baselines across columns. A page full of text with no headings has perfect alignment; add a run-in heading and the right-hand column goes out of alignment from that point onwards. Setting columns to balance makes no difference. I need the run-ins because I want two paras on the same line, with automatic running heads picking up on one of them and not the other. Any clues, anyone?
