How to eliminate any height beyond text height on textbox
Why? I need to make a special Quick Part where stacked text boxes are close enough to overlap each other before the actual texts start overlapping. This makes the text input afterwards a struggle.
I can fine-adjust the space at the bottom by dragging a text box's resize handle, but the space at the top doesn't disappear. I've already removed margins, paragraph spaces and set line spaces to minimum. Setting vertical alignment from Top to Middle doesn't change this behavior.
Is it possible to adjust the text box's size to fit the text size exactly?
You can set a fixed value for line spacing (in the Paragraph dialog box, this setting is called "Exactly") and specify a value which is the same as, or even a little smaller than, the point size for the text. Also, ensure that Spacing Before/After is set to zero.
I take it you already set the text box margins to zero.
For any borders defined for the text paragraph, make sure that you set the smallest possible distance between the border and the text.

Perfect! That's exactly what I needed!
Thank you very much!
