Re: Top margin. Why can't I control it?

Word is allowing a lot of extra line spacing for your font character. You
have a number of options:

1. Reduce the line spacing until the logo is *almost* truncated.

2. Put the logo in a text box, wrapped, and partly off the page (not a
really great idea).

3. Use a graphic for the logo instead; having a logo as a font character is
not really that great an idea.

4. Redesign the font with less built-in leading.

I want to put in our company logo at the top left of a page. It's a big
character, 156 point. It's using a special logo font I made with a font
program I have. When I type the character in, it's lowered way down on the
page. My page layout is set to top. My top margin is set to what I want
it,
just half an inch or so. I've tried "raising" my font character 60 or 70
points, but, it doesn't do anything. I've changed the font to a standard
Roman font and it still does nothing. Help!

Thanks,
Peter




Thanks, but, none of this works. I have no extra leading at all for this character. I have no extra paragraph spacing above the paragraph either. I've already tried importing a picture, but that's a separate nightmare. I'm using Word 2007 and, I have to say, it's the worst of all of them with regarding to importing pictures. I used to be able to import an EPS file and scale it to my liking. Now, when I import my EPS file, even one scaled down to the EXACT size I want, it displays it 100 times as wide as it really as and 100 times as short as it really is. And, I can't seem to scale it. So, I've pretty much given up on Word as a "desktop publishing" engine. I'm considered an "expert" here at my company with this software, believe it or not, but, I have to hit Word with a stick every day to make it do what I want. But, here, it's defeated me. . . .
