  Hi guys I’m having difficulty working out how to change the line spacing on the theme on my blog. I’ve looked through the forums but can’t work it out… would appreciate if someone could help me.

  Thanks in advance

  Exactly what do you mean by “change line spacing” – more spacing between lines? less?

  Do you have a post with a specific problem?

  Are you pasting into the editor from another program?

  Hi sorry I should have been more specific… for example in this post http://2travellers1blog.com/2013/12/31/uttarakhand-volunteering-in-the-jungle/ the space between the paragrapihs is too big. I’m just copying and pasting from wordpad. How would I make it smaller?

  Thanks

  Pasting from Word-pad / Word or ANY word processing program will cause a pox to descend on your blog – the editors bring formatting codes that you can’t see, the codes mess up your formatting

  Use the paste from Word box or the plain paste text box that is to the left of the Word box – see the link below and also make the adjustment in the dashboard to help

  Paste From Word

  Microsoft Word

  from Dashboard >> Settings >> Writing >> make sure the box

  “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”

  The space between your paragraphs is the default of the theme you’re using – compare with the theme demo:

  Since you have the Custom Design upgrade, you can change it once for all. Paste this into the CSS editor and decrease the value:

  #content p, #content ul, #content ol, #content dd, #content pre, #content hr {
  margin-bottom: 24px;
  }

  In the future make sure you post CSS questions in the CSS forum, not the Support forum.
