TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I did the same thing and found the icons hid the text immediately above
them. Kent Newton responded to my request earlier by pointing out that you
have to do the following:
1. Open the Paragraph Designer while the cursor is inserted in the
paragraph with the icon.
2. Select the Basic tab.
3. Clear the Fixed checkbox located under the Line Spacing drop-down.
If you've never had to do this step, perhaps the line spacing in your
paragraphs are not fixed by default. I do agree with you, however, that the
gap created by the icon is ugly.
