Line Spacing in a Citation


Randy Cue

Recommended Posts

Attached is a portion of a Word document with a Scripture copied as a citation. The spacing between lines is not consistent. I think that has something to do with the verse numbers. I don't want to eliminate the verse numbers, but I do want the spacing between lines to be consistent. Is there some way I can do that?

I have also observed that phenomena reading some texts on iOS devices. I agree that it appears related to the verse numbers.

Unfortunately, there isn't much that we can do about this.  When verse numbers are displayed in superscript, this increases that one specific line height to make room for the superscript.  Other lines, however, don't increase their line height as it isn't needed.  As you noted, this is an issue in Word (though you can see it in Accordance as well).  Perhaps if you increase the line spacing it can absorb the superscripted characters and even out the lines?

Thanks for your response Joel. Other Bible software doesn't have this problem so I was hoping there was a setting in preferences that I could change to solve the problem. Once again, thanks for your response.

It seems Accordance. has to change the behaviour. Instead of Zeilendurchschuß or leading 1 it should be like the Zeilenabstand related to the bottom line. post-32723-0-46812600-1489688437_thumb.png from https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Durchschuß_und_Zeilenabstand.svg#/media/File:Durchschuß_und_Zeilenabstand.svg. In the image it is written: In leading it is related over the leading. But now by the Photocomposition it is set by the Line spacing. So the behaviour of Accordance is on the old one.

Joel, I've found the problem and perhaps it has an easy fix. In my text citation format settings I have the font scaled to 12 point. That is the size the text shows up in Word; however, the verse number superscript font size is 16 point. If I manually go through and change each verse number to 12 point everything looks fine. Why doesn't the verse number font scale to 12? Is this something that can be easily fixed? Thanks for looking into it.

Can you post a picture of your full citation preferences?

Joel, I know you are busy with other things, but I wondered if you had a chance to look into this?
