Difficulty manipulating text box height

$

Hi,

 

I am working on a file where I have spreads in which I want blocks of text to on both sides of the spread to line up at the top, (and bottom as much as possible), so I've been playing around with the height of the text boxes. The widths should stay the same.

 

However, I'm finding it challenging. For example, in the attached, I'd like the empty space at the bottom of the block of text on the right side of the spread to go away. It looks like it should be just the right amount of room that if you bring the height of the text box down a bit and do the same with the left, everything will line-up on the right and the left perfectly on the top and either perfectly or close on the bottom AND without overflow text. Yet it always seems to go a little too far when I bring it down and there ends up being overflow text.

 

Another problem that is created when I move the top of the text box to play with the height, is that many times it ends-up moving the entire text box, even though I've only touched the top, so where the type sits on the bottom margin (where I want it to be)  gets moved and the whole thing gets thrown off.

 

Any suggestions for how to deal with this?

 

Thanks!
