Paragraph Spacing

I just upgraded from 2002 - 2003. In 2002, after typing a line of text and
then hitting a "hard return" and typing a second line of text, I used to be
able to right click, select "paragraph", and set the line spacing (before and
after) to 0 to close up the extra space between lines. In 2003 there doesnt
seem to be that option. The only way i seem to be able to keep line spacing
together is by allowing text to wrap around. Is there any other way to use
the old feature of "paragraph"

Use CSS margin settings to control the spacing between adjacent paragraph
tags.

In FP 2003, you can do this manually by editing the properties of each <p>
(select it on the tag selector, drop down the context menu, and select Tag
Properties). You will see fields that allow you to adjust the individual
spacing....

2003 doesn't have "Format"?

After typing and having more than 1 paragraph, use "Format" "Paragraph" and
set line spacing to 1. You can also set offsets etc while there.

It may not be, since a hard break will no longer allow the text to flow
across the width of the container. It's much more sensible to use CSS and
paragraph margins, doncha think?

Depends on what he's doing. I'm guessing that CSS, layers, div's, etc. are
foreign to him, and that he's just typing in the body. Just a guess on my
part mind you, but the level of the question didn't sound like coding was
even in the picture.

I agree with you there.

Sometimes, the value of these fora is to gently nudge others into
considering that it's all just HTML and CSS, rather than the smoke and
mirrors of design view.... 8)

We can just point the way. The choice to make the journey into the dark
underbelly of the code is theirs.

Yep. That's what I try to do....
