FrontPage 2003 doublespacing problem.

I am a brand new FrontPage 2003 user/not very computer literate and nearly
lost here. I started trying to type text on a blank page and cannot for the
life of me get the text to single space. Every time a line returns, it
double spaces it self. I have some limited books on FrontPage 2003 and they
don't address this. The Microsoft data bank also has no answer for me. Help!
 
Hi Zella,

It works like MS Word in that text will automatically wrap at the end of the line. To force a line break use shift+enter versus
enter which is a paragraph break
 
Use shift + enter for line breaks.

By it's nature, using just enter makes a new paragraph under html specs.

enter = double space (paragraph)
shift + enter = single space (line break) You could also do Insert, Break
from the tool bar

Try format > Paragraph > line spacing. Set the line spacing to whatever you like.

If you mean you get double space when you hit the {enter) key then this is the
correct behaviour. You need to press Shift-enter to make single spaced (i.e. go
to immediate next line).
 
My problem is with the configurtions. i want to set it permantly on single
space. I don't want to have to peform an action every time I type. To be
exact i want it to act as Word. However my configurations ARE set at single
spacing. Are there additional permanent configurations with this program and
can you tell me where they are. Paragraph setting as I set are set on single
nut still getting double
Thanks anyway but ths is a page set up problem not just a quick fix. i
would dreve me mad.

So someone please come up with resources. i have not been able to use it to
create a new page and I am using word in light of my problem. i set this
site to advise me of responses so sorry i havent got back.

Regards
 
Sounds like you don't know how Word works either...you just keep typing you
don't hit Enter (or Return) at the end of a line. If you want a non breaking
line return you hit Shift+ Enter, NOT Enter (or Return).

You shouldn't use Word to create web pages either, you'll have more mess on
your hands if you don't know how to strip Word's formatting.

There is no such setting in FP. Let you text automatically wrap and then you will not have to
perform any additional actions every time you type.

If you feel your current issue is a results of installing

If the problem can be shown to have been caused by a
security update, then there is usually no charge for the call.

The default is to single space.
However, if you are referring to spacing following paragraph breaks
and headings, the default is to add a margin (equal to the height of a
line) between paragraphs.
Include some CSS in the <head> section to reduce the margin.

<style type-"text/css">
p {margin-top:1px; margin-bottom:1px;}
</style>

Change 1px above to suit your layout.
 
Hi Rob

I have been using word for 7 years. i can see now that it wraps the text in
new pages. i have been working on preexisting ones and especially in my
index i can't get it to go back to single spacing. So hitting the shift+enter
will assist me here?
many thanks
Kaye
 
Use FP to create your webpages.

If you absolutely must use Word copy the text, then Paste it into Notepad
(which will strip out all the crap), then Copy and Paste into FP.

That's one way.

Although, not entirely convinced I understand your last post.
