I have created a website in FrontPage 2003. I have a bulleted list on one of
my webpages. In FrontPage each bullet point is single spaced but on the
actual webpage, they are double spaced. How do I fix this so they are single
spaced on the website? Thanks!

One solution to the problem is to remove the <p> and </p> tags from the
bulleted phrases. For example:
<ul>
<li><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><font color="#003366"
face="Arial">Private Group Photography Seminars</font></p></li>
<li><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><color="#003366"><font face="Arial"
color="#003366">Exclusive Photography Excursions in
Port</font></font></font></p></li>
<li><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><font color="#003366"><font
face="Arial">Many Opportunities for Questions and Personal Assistance With
Rick </font> </font><br><br>&nbsp;</font></font></p></li>
</ul>

becomes

<ul>
<li><font color="#003366" face="Arial">Private Group Photography
Seminars</font></li>
<li><font face="Arial" color="#003366">Exclusive Photography Excursions in
Port</font></li>
<li><font color="#003366"><font face="Arial">Many Opportunities for
Questions and Personal Assistance With Rick </font></font></li>
</ul>


There are other errors in the page, such as more </font> tags than <font>
tags - some are in the above code segment.
You should not assign heights to tables or cells that contain text. If you
do, some text may disappear in some browsers when (when, not if) users
resize the text. Copying from Word may also cause problems -
<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"> Where is MsoNormal defined? And in
this case justified text is not required since the lines are not long enough
to be justified. In my opinion justified text looks bad on a web page
anyway - that's MY opinion.

The style block for h2:
<style>
<!--
h2
{margin-bottom:.0001pt;
text-align:center;
page-break-after:avoid;
font-size:16.0pt;
font-family:"Times","serif";
font-weight:normal; margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-top:0in}
-->
</style>

should be
<style type="text/css">

<!--
h2
{margin-bottom:.0001pt; really?
1/720000 of an inch? That is small!
Why not margin-bottom:0; ?

text-align:center;
page-break-after:avoid;
font-size:16.0pt;
font-family:"Times","serif"; - no need for the quote marks.
font-weight:normal;
margin-left:0in; margin-right:0in; margin-top:0in} Inches -
how big is an inch on a screen? Print measurements such as pts and inches
leave a lot of interpretation for browsers. For example, Opera's version of
1pt is smaller than Internet Explorer's, and Netscape's is larger. Use
pixels, ems, or % to define font sizes for consistency accross browsers. And
for accessibility, avoid pixels it is difficult (but not impossible) to
resize text in IE when using pixels or points - but no problem in Firefox or
Opera.
See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/ems-percent.aspx for more
information.
-->
</style>


Finally, again my opinion, bulleted lists look better with wider spacing. I
use 1 1/2 lines rather than double, but your page is OK with double, single
would be too cramped.

Yes - use FrontPage to add the text, do not paste from Word.
Type each bulleted item as a seperate paragraph, the select all the
paragraphs and click the bullets icon in the toolbar to convert to an
unordered list.

Is there a solution to the problem that uses the FrontPage user interface
