  Double-spaced is very poor for poetry. How do I get rid of it to make way for superior single-spaced mode?

  Hi Bill,

  The easiest way is to shift+enter for the line breaks, but we have some additional tips on how to manage this here:

  So there is no SINGLE SPACE option?

  Whatever I try, when pasting a poem that is single spaced, I end up with a spaced out double-spaced version on wordpress

  Hi Bill,

  DId you check out that article? You can use the ‘preformatted text’ option, and that article explains how. :)

  Didn’t work for me. a fellow blogger I saw on a forum asking this question helped me, saying I ought to switch to “text” mode, then paste my poem. Then go back to visual to work with it…
