Aligning baselines are not done by inserting a line, but by using the
feature "Register
true".

Kind regards

I have in fact wondered what "Register true" was for, thanks for that
info.

The question that next comes up in my mind is, does anyone know where in
the world did a
"name" like that come from?  If it were me naming that feature I would
of
called it
something like... "Align Baselines".

Is there a story or reason behind it?  If it's not a good one, I vote
for
changing the
name, because in 6 months or a year I'll have forgotten what it does
(chances are slim
I'll ever have to use that feature but still).  I'm a big fan of naming
things after their
functions if and when it makes sense to do so.

Thank you in advance.



      Use LO's help to search for this term. It answers your question.
Hint, it has to do with how newspapers have been printed.
