  When I copy and past the poetry text from a word doc (Pages), it ends up with wide spaces in between each line. I assume this is because I hit “enter” each time I typed the next line of the poem when I created the original document, so now I have paragraph spacing between the lines. I’ve tried typing text into the new page, highlighting it and then overwriting it with the poem, but it is still happening. Is there any way I can reduce the space between the lines of my poems?

  Yes, it does give advice about pasting text. Unfortunately, the problem remains… big gaps between the lines. I will try embedding a google doc instead. Thank you!
