Using the baseline grid and 'space after' for formatting

I use InDesign CC on a MacBook Pro of the retina. I'm designing a document and you want to use a reference grid to align the text. I would like also to use the option "space after" in the definition of a paragraph style. I use the type of 10 points on the line spacing by 15 points. "Space after" is defined as 7.5 points.

If I try to apply both database grid orientation and the specification of "space after", I basically lose my pt 7.5 defined "space after" a lot more space because the wells of the first line of the following paragraph to the reference grid line below. I find myself essentially with 22.5 pt instead of 7.5 pt.

These two incompatible functions or y at - there a way around that I don't know?

Thanks for any advice.

There is no way around it. Best is to calculate your different leading.

space before and space after values so that everything falls on a

base line. In this way you avoid having to rely on "Align on the baseline." You

can also turn on "skip dragging ' in Preferences > Composition if

you have graphics with dressing in them.
