Carriage return gives big gap ...

Hi all

This proabably sounds like a silly question, but here goes.

When I'm typing in FrontPage I get to the end of a line and the text moves
onto a new line and leaves a small gap between the two rows of text. This is
good.

If I decide where I want the line to end and press Enter and continue typing
there is a large gap between the two rows of text. This is not good.

I have looked in Format > Paragraph and my lne spcing is set to single.
What do I need to do to have a snall gao between the two lines of text after
pressing enter?

Thanks for your time.

Enter begins a new paragraph, hence the big gap. Use Shift + Enter for a
line break.

HTML will, by default, leave a blank line between paragraphs -
paragraphs start with <p> and end with </p> in code view.
Question - when you press enter are you intending to start a new
paragraph, or a new line?
If a new line, then use Shift+Enter (as Rob said).

If a new paragraph you will always get what appears to be a blank line -
but this is actually a margin which you can modify by using CSS.

In the <head> section of the page (just before </head> tag in code view)
add

<style type="text/css">
p {margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;}
</style>

This sets the margin to 0, and will affect every paragraph <p> in the
page. However, for better readability on a screen it is better to leave
some space between paragraphs, otherwise the lines of text appear to run
into each other.

Hi Ron

Thanks for the information. I am not starting new paragraphs - just new
lines, but I want to be able to determine where each line ends and a new one
starts, and it was frustrating to have FP leave a blank line every time I
pressed enter. There may be a better way to do what I'm trying to achieve,
but I can get the result I want by doing it this way. For now.

Thanks for the advice
