As a beginner with FrontPage, I have run into a problem. When I insert a MS
Word document file in a FrontPage page or layer, the resulting text has an
extra blank line added after each paragraph.

Please, how can I correct this problem?

Thanks, Robert
 
It is *partly* because Frontpage is not a word processor and doesn't have
the formatting flexibility of MS Word; therefore some formatting is lost and
you end up with strange behaviour, such as an extra line between paragraphs,
perhaps the conversion between Word and Frontpage is causing these
unpredictable results.

How did you "insert" the document? By copy and pasting?

You might be better off simply making a link to the document, so it opens in
MS Word. Or, retype the document in Frontpage. There are many issues with
Word and other office apps - they don't really run smoothly together or
integrate properly - less smoothly than they should, I think.
 
Use CSS to set the top and bottom margins on paragraphs <p> to zero.
In the head section
<style type="text/css">
p {margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;}
</style>

This will affect all paragraphs in the page. To restrict to just the
Word document, place it a
<div class="word">
word document
</div>

and change the CSS to

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