Default Paragraph Setting

The default paragraph setting is set at 2 line spaces per return - how does
one reset this so there is 0 (1) line spaces per return? i.e. Format -
Paragraph - Indents and Spacing

Thanks
 
The Return key enters a new Paragraph (the '<p>' tag).

Shift-Enter forces the new line (the '<br>' tag).

That's the way it works and can't be changed.
 
Hi Gramps,

Pressing the return key causes a hard return or paragraph. Normally, you type and the system will wrap the lines at the end for you
so there is no need for a line return. If you need one then hold the shift key and press return.

Please note this operates the same way in all word processing packages.
 
Use CSS to set the paragraph top and bottom margins to zero.
Place this in the <head> section of the page in Code or HTML view:

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

I agree. Keeping the white space between paragraphs makes the text
inherently easier to read. That's one reason in particular that the
HTML standards were set up to do just that.

For example (granted that the text I've used is technobabble) which is
easier to read (on the eyes):


A: ---------------------

Description. This Supplemental Specification sets forth the
requirements for an intersection video detection system.
Materials. The video detection system shall consist of hard-wired video
cameras, all necessary video and power cabling with end connectors,
mounting brackets, lightning protection as recommended by the
manufacturer, video detection processors/extension modules capable of
processing the number of camera and phase combination video sources
shown on the project plans. Sufficient number of cameras shall be
provided to process vehicle presence, passage and system detection zones
shall be as shown on the project plans.
Furnish materials according to the Department’s Qualified Products List
(QPL).
A. Functional Capabilities. Camera systems shall be able to transmit
NTSC video signals, with minimal degradation, up to 1,000 feet (300 m).
Furnished video detection system configuration shall utilize
single-channel or dual-channel video processors with a minimum of 1
video inputs and 1 video output, responding to specific site
applications, camera locations and detection zones shown on the project
plans.
B. Interface. Each video input shall accept RS170 (NTSC) signals from
an external video source. The interface connector shall be BNC type and
shall be located on the front of the video processing unit. The video
input shall have the capability to select 75-ohm or high impedance
(Hi-Z) termination. The selection of the video input impedance shall be
externally accessible and located adjacent to the video input BNC connector.

I also agree with keeping white space - often the more the better.
However, it is better to keep the correct paragraphing (albeit without
whitespace separating the paragraphs) than lose the paragraphs
altogether, which using line breaks will do.
