lines in differing columns don't align

In Microsoft Word 2010, lines in differing columns don't align.

The document below is set up for three columns and has a continuous section break after the title, which I deliberately wanted centered.

Can someone suggest how to align the text in the three columns of the document below?

    Word hasn't a built-in feature that "lines up" text the way you describe it.

    What you can do is set a fixed value for Line Spacing (choose "Exactly" and type a value in points) in the Paragraph dialog box for all text paragraphs (including headings). Any Spacing Before or Spacing After must be set to an integer multiple of the chosen value for Line Spacing.

    Note that this may be difficult to maintain, and you may not find it worth the effort.

    Cannot access that image so cannot see the issue.

    If you send me a copy of the document, referencing this thread in the covering email message, I will investigate the issue.
