Mtext linespacing

[Gordon Price]

Two questions here.
1: is there a way to programatically change the linespacing on Mtext. We have a ton of text that needs to be Exactly, and MatchProps doesn't seem to do it. 2: Is there a way to make this the default. From the standpoint of consistency we would rather just set it and move on.

Thanks,
Gordon

Not the best approach, but it should give you some ideas...
