Hi group I'm running Fm 9.0p255 (9.0.4) on Windows XP, SP 3 with 3GB of RAM. When I start Fm9 after I have started some other programs first (Outlook, Acrobat, Firefox, Chrome...), Fm9 crashes right after it has started, even when I close all the other programs and try again. Fm9 doesn't crash

Problem: Text in table cells is high, not centered vertically. Without actually trying out the settings to see if my results are the same, I wonder if the base-line synchronization setting, which can make the first line in a column bump up a little higher has an effect. Or is it possible
