  Hi there,

  Rather than just hitting return, try holding the shift key and hitting the return key at the same time. Let me know how that goes.

  Hi, Yes, I’ve done that, but that gives me single spacing, and I do want some space between paragraphs just not as big as it is.

  Hi there,

  Please try the CSS:

  .entry-content p:first-child {
      margin-top: 2em;
  }
  
  .entry-content p {
      margin-top: 0;
      margin-bottom: 1.5em;
  }

  Thanks for the input. Diana, that CSS worked for the paragraphs. It did not change the spacing from a sentence to a bulleted list though. For example:

  Any input on that? Thanks so much.

  Hi there, I’m not seeing a bulleted list on the page you reference, but in Corporate, to adjust the spacing above and below ordered and unordered lists, add the following CSS and adjust the 2.5em values as desired.

  ul, ol {
      margin-bottom: 2.5em;
      margin-top: 2.5em;
  }

  Thanks thesacredpath. I had actually removed the bulleted list, since I didn’t have a response on the CSS and it looked funny. I will give this a try!
