# PUB2: Descenders Clipped with Double-Spaced Text

## Q107881

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    The information in this article applies to:

     - Microsoft Publisher for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY
    =======

    When typing into a text frame with double-spaced text, you may see the
    descenders from the line above disappear and return (blinking on and off)
    as you type. This happens throughout the entire double-spaced text frame.

    MORE INFORMATION
    ================

    In Publisher 2.0, the double- and triple-spaced text leave no spacing below
    the line for the descender. As a result, the line below is only given the
    point-size height instead of adding the extra 20 percent needed to view
    correctly.

    This happens if you set up your system to print to a wide variety of
    printers such as the Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet III, HP DeskJet,
    PostScript, and Dot-matrix printers.

    Note: Your printout will not be affected by this problem. This
    problem only affects the screen display.

    Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Publisher version
    2.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information
    here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
