By default a WPF TextBlock seems to have additional top and bottom padding applied. I wish this wasn't so.
I've tried setting negative padding, but got an exception:
0,-10,0,0' is not a valid value for property 'Padding'.
I've tried setting the LineHeight property, to no apparent effect.
This is how the TextBlock looks in Blend. I've marked the problematic portion with maroon red.

TextBlock is not editable.
Padding represents the distance between the side of the control (which can be the margin) and its content. The content depends on the type of the control. Margin is outside the UI element, while Padding is inside it. Next Recommended Reading WPF: Textblock Vs Label.
If you want to center each line, use a TextBlock instead, and set TextAlignment="Center" .
The TextBlock control provides flexible text support for UI scenarios that do not require more than one paragraph of text. It supports a number of properties that enable precise control of presentation, such as FontFamily, FontSize, FontWeight, TextEffects, and TextWrapping.
Some research and H.B. guided me to the right answer, which is setting the following properties:
<TextBlock LineStackingStrategy="BlockLineHeight" LineHeight="20"/> <!-- Or some other value you fancy. --> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
