Hello, folks,

I need to figure out whether it's possible to do the following:

I want to add a rule a specific amount above a paragraph that is set to Auto leading. Specifically, I use a paragraph style I call "BT for inline graphic." It consists of attributes inherited from its parent, "BT" (for Body Text), plus 13 points of space before and after it, no first line indention, and centered alignment. ALSO, instead of a fixed leading of 13 points, the leading is Auto (and the value of Auto leading is 100%, which I set in the Hyphenation dialog box).

I use Auto leading for this paragraph because the inline graphics I will insert vary in height. Auto leading will allow ID to adjust the leading of the line to fit the height of the image--i.e., if the image is larger than the leading, it won't stick up and overlap the preceding lines.

I tried to add a rule above this paragraph, but the offset is a fixed amount from the baseline. I want it to be a fixed amount above the leading, so that no matter how tall the image is, the line above the paragraph will be positioned the same amount above it.

I can't figure out how to persuade ID to do that.

Any ideas?
