  Hi,

  In my text block I have no space between 2 lines when I just type a sentence and a part of that sentence comes in the following line.
  When I press ‘enter’ I get space between 2 lines, but I want to reduce that space.
  Can someone tell me how to solve this?
  Hopefully my question is clear :-)

  Thanks!
  Ine

  I’m not sure this is the official way to handle the situation, but when I want to skip the paragraph break you reference I use Shift+Enter instead of just Enter and voila! no extra space.

  Waw Lizthefair, you’re a star! It works :-) Thanks!
  Timethief, I have deleted it myself because it’s for another wp-site.

  Is it a WordPress.com hosted site? I’m asking because your username is still linked to a deleted blog.

  Note: 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.
