MS Frontpage problem

[fusionlad]

I'm trying to play with Frontpage, just to do a simple er... front page.

But when I key in the text, it's leaving a space between lines, even though it is set to 'single line' in the options. For example:

I START THE FIRST LINE HERE.

BUT THE NEXT LINE SEEMS TO LEAVE A DOUBLE SPACE ABOVE.


....if you see what I mean.

Any ideas anyone?

Do you press the RETURN key at the end of each line? If so, then it's probably starting a new paragraph. Pressing SHIFT-RETURN will probably do what you want.

I'll let someone else do the lecture about the evils of Frontpage...

Thank you, you are a genius. Either that or I'm a bit slow

[MarkN]

You're welcome! (but I wouldn't consider myself to be a genius though...!)

I wouldn't consider myself to be a genius

I would because I am.

On my website (which reminds me, I must ditch the shite templates) when I go to edit text on the crappy templates, I push enter and it automatically adds the <p> tag. A tag I never use because it annoys the hell out of me, I use the <br> tag when I need to because it does what I want it too.

I find that MS add these "helpful features" to their programmes and they infuriate the hell out of me, Dream Weaver is extremely good because it doesn’t add these line break tags automatically then call it a helpful feature.

it's because <P> has margin and padding defined by default.

All you have to do is pop
p {margin: 0px; padding: 0px}

into your css and it makes everything magic.
