Need Help In Spacing - 1/21/2008 21:41:12   
The only problem I'm having with DW 3.0 is trying to use single line spacing between text and between tables.
I've done all the text formatting, headers 1, 2, 3 etc but something is keeping me from being able to set single line spacing.
Any help from you guru's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Have you tried holding down the "Shift" key while hitting the "Enter" key?

Thanks swoosh for your fast reply. I have images in tables and I can't get them close enough together vertically..such as...I'm moving my site again from FP to DW and doing some upgrading on it. I've built all new images in Photoshop for banners and link buttons and when I put them in tables and try to arrange the spacing between the tables I can't get them close enough together to look correctly.
I tried your solution but it's just like before, won't let the table get close enough to the table on top of it.
I also have a lot of photos to be put on some of the pages and I'll put those in tables also and will have to align the same way.
It's been a few years since I used DW and I just absolutely don't remember how I did it. In FP you just set the paragraphs at single spacing, 100% etc and it all comes together like i want it.
I can't seem to get it Done in DW.

Thanks

do you have a link that we can look at? Also, have you tried just putting in break <br> tags within the code to get single spacing?

I've just started building the new site in DW yesterday and haven't uploaded it yet. It'll probably be another week. It's my business site and takes a lot of hits so I want it right when I upload it so I'm not messing with the FP site until this one is ready.
It took me a week working at night just to rebuild all the new images and down size a few.

why not post it into a test directory in the meantime? or name your new index page test-.html and upload that and the files ?

html defaults to double spacing between paragraphs and other block level elements - all of which you can change using css (cascading stylesheets) but i'm guessing you're not using css, right?

dw3 is a bit old - around 7-8 years now lol :)

Preferably you don't want to use line breaks just to sort out line spacing - just add a CSS rule like this:

#whateveridname {line-height:150%;}


which will increase the spacing between lines of text within a particular named area (or you can just apply it to the body rule if you want that spacing everywhere).

Or if you want larger/smaller spacing between a particular line (say the bottom of a particular paragraph or the bottom of a div or list or whatever) and another area then just apply a larger/smaller margin to that area in your stylesheet:

#whatever {margin-bottom:20px;} or
#whatever p {margin-bottom:20px;}


To be more specific we'd need to see the site itself.
