I have MS Word and Open Office. in Windows XP. I am trying to find a way to place a line of text exactly where I need it to be. The line just keeps jumping a little higher or lower than I need it to be. I tried unchecking " Snap to grid", but that did not work. Can you help on this ??

What I want to do is in using the vertical ruling ( in inches) is place the first text line at a half inch , and from there at one inch intervals, so the first line would be at a half inch, the second at one and a half , the third at two and a half, etc.
