  Hi,
  I need to publish an article on a page. When i draft the article on page, 17 words are written in one line. When i preview the whole article, i find only 6 words written per line, which disturbs the position of image and other words in the article during preview. How to make both equal.

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

  Hey ahmedabadlove,

  Since your WordPress.com site is responsive, it will scale for desktops, laptops, phones, etc, the number of words per line will depend on the device in which the viewer is using.

  Moreover, I could potentially see 17 words per line when viewing the post on a large monitor, but only 8 words when viewing the same post on an iPad, for example. Does that make sense?

  With that being said, you can force line breaks. Holding down Shift and then pressing Return (Enter) will create line breaks and help with formatting. Alternatively, you can edit the HTML to create the line breaks/spacing you need. Please see this document: https://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/#extra-line-breaks

  I hope this helps! Please let us know if you would like any further clarification or have any other questions.
