It's impossible to vertically align the baselines of text in adjacent cells if the font sizes are different.

It seems that extra padding is being added in the wrong place, which creates the curious symptom of having bottom-aligned text placed higher than top-aligned text.

Affects all versions tested.

This issue came up because I was trying to ditch Excel and use OpenOffice instead, but the spreadsheet that my work made me use was being formatted differently in OpenOffice (the baselines no longer aligned).

See the new attachments for screenshots of how bottom alignment of differently-sized text in adjacent cells looks in Excel and OpenOffice.

You can ignore the TOP and BOTTOM text from the first attachment.  I thought it odd that character padding was not mandatory on the top and bottom, regardless of the vertical alignment type chosen.  But this feature exists in Excel too, so for compatibility I guess it's best to just keep it.
