    I’m trying to align som text blocks vertically, but even if the objects have similar heights (and font family and size are the same) the text shows on a different position vertically within the objects. See the attachment. Any solution to this?

    I see now actually that the issue is that fixed text fields align different than dynamic fields. How to solve this?

    The blue dashed line is the baseline of the text, so you can align to the baselines instead of to the bounding box.

    I hoped I could use the align buttons, but this means that’s not possible? I’m supposed to visually align the baselines?

    The baselines should snap to each other, so it’s not difficult. The static and dynamic text objects do use different technologies to render their content, so that’s why they don’t line up. That’s why I put the baseline alignment control in there.

    Thanks, snap to object does the job!
