CorelDRAW X7 Aligning to baseline grid

Aligning to baseline grid

I have been creating a 3 column magazine using Coreldraw x7. There are many times that I have to align my body text to the baseline grid especially when wrapping text around images or objects. Text does align to baseline grid EXCEPT text in the first line of the second and third columns where the text hangs above the baseline grid line. See pictures below. Even after removing images and objects, aligning to baseline grid produces the same flaw.

Help me plz!!

BEFORE (picture above) and AFTER (Below)

After removing the Drop cap and snapping the text frames to the baseline grid .... no changes. (BELOW)

Weird.....if you turn off the Drop Cap does it work ok or is the first line still a little shifted?

I haven't tried it. But if you bring the two affected text frames up to the baseline grid, does the first line then align?

Hi Mike. I aligned (by snapping) the text frame to the baseline grid and then tried the alignment to the baseline grid ... still no change to the space in the second and third columns. (I have posted a new pic in my thread in my thread)

I can't get it to mess up in this fashion....if I create 3 separate text frames and mess with the order they are created and text inserted into them, then I can get the 3rd frame to not align at all....if I select all 3 frames and then disable/enable [ ] Align to baseline grid, then it all works again.
Can you post the .CDR so we can all try it?
