Do you have your paragraphs formatted with "space before" and/or "space after"? If so, then this is probably causing the irregularity in spacing between your lines of text. Make sure that your space before/after is:
a) equal to your leading;
b) a multiple of your leading; or
c) exactly half of your leading
ex: If your leading is10 pts and you want a space after each paragraph, the space should be10 pts,20 pts or5 pts. I've found that 150% of your leading works also.
I hope that helps. If I'm way off on understanding your question, sorry.
( You mean to get all your copy lined up or to get your columns lined up so that all your copy is lined up? Am I making sense at all? LOL! There are 2 ways to make colums in Quark. One is to draw seperate text boxes and link them all, but use guides to get them all aligned right if you do it this way. The other is to make one big ole text box and use your measurements to specify how many columns you want in that box. If you do set it up that way, double click on the box with the move tool and type in what you want your gutter width to be (on the text tab)because otherwise it is automatically set at .167...you can also specify your # of columns there.
