Text boxes
Hello, I am fairly new at using Word 2013 on a regular basis. Why is the text in my text boxes not staying at the correct line spacing. They were fine when I created them but when I open the Word document later the line spacing in my text boxes has changed?

You can set a fixed value for Line Spacing to prevent changes. Use the "Exactly" setting in the Paragraph dialog box and specify a value in points. Some trial and error may be required to find the appropriate value.
As Doug says, though, usually it is better to avoid text boxes unless you really need them. Using text boxes only makes the document more complex and therefore increases the risk of corruption.
Why are you using Text Boxes?
Usually the only time that you really need to use them is if you want to link one to another so that the text will flow around an object.
If you are not doing that, try laying out your document without using text boxes.
Hi Doug, I actually use the text boxes as labels for my exploded assembly view which is done in Solidworks
