Double spacing is automatic, want single spacing
-
Hi, I’m new here, trying to get some info. up and running. When I enter text for a new page, it automatically double spaces. How do I get it to go to single spacing? Thanks for any help!

That drives me nuts when it does that. What I do is click on the html tab and delete that extra space. Sometimes it will have the code which I delete. I cannot remember what it is specifically, but it as an “n” in it.

If you just press return between lines, then you will get “double-spacing.” You code will put in a paragraph when you do that: on the net paragraph spacing is equivalent to the extra line space.
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Are you ready to <em>de-clutter</em> and take back <em>control</em> of your life…</strong></p> <p style="text-align:left;"><strong>…but don’t know where to start?</strong></p>You could go into the html editor to eliminate the < p style = etc. > and < p >s
But it’s simpler to just hold down the shift key as you hit return so the editor won’t add the extra paragraph line. -
Do you have an example of where you are getting the extra spacing?

1tess,
Yes, it is the  . Sometimes it shows up, other times not. I am not sure what I do differently.
I will try the Shift key tip. That sounds easy.
Thank you, -
WordPress typically puts the   between the last two words in a sentence (likely triggered by a period (.). That is to keep from having single words orphaned on the last line of a paragraph.

Yes, and if one switches from visual to html and back, there are things added or subtracted that don’t seem logical to me.
I have noticed that non-breaking space “bug” occasionally. That’s why I asked.
(not that is a “bug” maybe, but it is only a quirk)Many of thebirdingbunch’s latest posts are centered and bolded as well, so I was wondering if she is pasting from Word or some other word processor.
