I have two consecutive lines of text. I want there to be no vertical space between the lines. In the example below I want the top of D to touch the bottom of A.



ABC
DEF

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks.
Peter

An option is to create a Text Box(s) and insert your text.
Remove the text Box border and fill, then move the Box(s), when selected, to a desired position with the Arrow keys.

Moonshine - Thanks! That worked.

Pleased to help out.
Alternatively, you could select and copy text say in a sentence > Deselect copied text > Paste > Paste Special > Microsoft Word Document Object > OK > Page Layout > Wrap Text > In front of text.

You can then manually position the ‘object’ with the mouse or with the arrow keys as before.

As an alternative, you can set the Line Spacing to an exact amount and choose a value which is smaller than the font size. You will probably have to experiment a bit to find a suitable value.

The problem with that approach is that many fonts have a white space above & below most characters (capitals may only have a white space below) and any attempt to eliminate that space will result in the tops of the characters on the next line being cut off. In TNR, for example, that happens with a line spacing multiple of anything less than about 0.78; in Garamond, it happens with a line spacing multiple of anything less than about 0.75.
