  Hi I have been trying and failing to put a space between sentances by hitting enter.

  Which should get something like this.

  However on the blog it always turns up like:
  This
  but only happens in this area.

  While the rest looks normal and spaced out.

  I have deleted it and typed it fresh and it still has the same problem, it also may happen with other posts and not just one particular post.

  you can see here:

  please help.

  Thanks

  • Copy link

  If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD please read this please. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  Whether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
  Formatting
  __ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  “save changes”

  Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see:

  P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
