The first baseline is where the first line of text sits relative to the top of its box. Paragraph Plus gives you two controls over it: an exact pixel value, or a preset measurement.

​
Baseline slider

A single slider that nudges the first line down from its default starting position, in pixels. Drag or type a value, or use the preset menu for common values (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, or 100px).

​
Baseline dropdown

A dropdown that chooses which font metric measures the gap between the top of the box and the first baseline:
The baseline dropdown is only editable while the baseline slider above is set to 0. As soon as you set a non-zero value, it takes over and the dropdown is disabled. Set the value back to 0 to choose a different preset.
