[QUOTE="Padril, post: 1574927, member: 11043"] Use a grid. For example, say you are using 10pt type with 12pt leading for your body copy make sure that any headings etc use a multiple of that heading too (eg 24pt) That will help you keep the baselines of your text lines lined up. To make sure that the columns balance can be a little bit more tricky. If you your coming up a line or two short at the end of a column you can do a couple of things. [list=1] [*]Add more text. If your a line short add a line of text to a paragraph above. [*]Adjust the tracking. Indesign gives you very fine controls over tracking and kerning. You can simply just expand a paragraph slightly to make it run over to an extra line or contract a paragraph to pull a line back.
