Hai Andrew, Most probably the linespacing is reduced to fit the text in the textbox.
If you click somewhere on the text and then press escape you'll see a hatched border (or in some versions only 6 little blue squares) to indicate the textbox your text is a part of. Put the cursor over that border (or one of the squares) and with the right button of your mouse select one of "Text...", "Size and position..." or "Paragraph...". All these dialogs contain settings that might influence this behavoir. I suspect you have a setting in one of those that automatically adjusts the linespacing or another property of the text so that is is made to fit in the textbox. Try fiddling around with those 'til you find one that satisfies your needs. Most descriptions are quite self-explaining, so I suspect you'll find the right one quiet easily. If not, ask again and we'll try to help you.
