  I’ve inserted (into a draft post) two large jpegs of landscape pdf pages with text above & below them. But in the preview the space between texts & images is huge: about 1″ above & below the first image & 2″ above & below the second! Is there any way I can control these vertical spaces?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  It looked like there were unnecessary tags causing the spaces. But, I have removed them. Please take a look at the draft and view the changes. If you do not like them, please let me know and we can revert back to the previous draft.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  hi — many thanks for your help with this, the draft now looks the way I want it, the vertical spaces are perfect.
  Could you please tell me what the unnecessary tags that you removed were? This draft was really a ‘mock-up’ or rehearsal for future posts in this style, & I’d like to learn to how to control the vertical spaces. Thanks once again!

  Hi there,

  This was what I removed:

  <address style="direction:rtl;text-align:center;">

  I removed all the address tags and the spaces disappeared :)

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!
