Is there a way to reduce the spacing between lines? (in Blix)

    I can’t stand how much space I end up with when I start a new line. A post that shouldn’t be that long visually ends up requiring way too much scrolling.

    Is there a way to reduce this?

    Thanks!

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

    Please provide a link to your blog starting with http:// when asking questions here in the forums. Or link your blog to your name as explained in the yellow sticky at the top of the forums. In order to answer your question, I had to do some detective work to find your blog.
    Is this your blog?

    If so, it appears that you pasted your latest post from Word? For example, there is a lot of extra space between:
    “scores, Literature and Writing Magnet Program, and many extracurricular activities.

    West Pullman”
    because there is a blank paragraph line in the code: 

    scores, Literature and Writing Magnet Program, and many extracurricular activities.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#008000;"><em><span style="font-family:Arial;">West Pullman</span></em></span><em></em></p>

    Copy text in visual editor, switch to html editor and paste.

    You will also be able to reduce the amount of spacing between lines by using Shift-Enter, rather than just Enter, for line breaks after the school names.

    Or you can use an offline blog editor like Windows Live Writer or Blogdesk as well.

    Wonderful! Thanks very much!
    Yes, that is my blog – thought it was linked to from my post but I guess not.
    Thank you very much for responding… I will check out those suggestions.

    cpsobsessed,
    When you ask a question here, I think you fill out a form of some sort which asks for a link to your blog, but it’s an auto-screening device to filter out people asking about WordPress.ORG blogs (their software is different from ours). Your link does not show up in the forums, so it is best to give a link whenever you ask a question.
    Or link your name to your blog so when you comment on posts others can find you as well!
    Pay attention to item 2 on this list:
