    Default Spacing

    Can anyone tell me whi when I am in the edit mode and hit enter it looks like
    it is double spaced. Then when I publish it it is single spaced. Also if I am
    working in a table and changing the cell sizes - - it looks different in edit
    than after being published. It edit space between cells appears smaller.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Default Re: Spacing

    What is happening with your spacing is correct behavour for browsers.

    If you want multiple spacing you need to get your admin to change a setting a
    setting in "Editing" to "Allow Multiple Consecutive spaces" against your role.

    As for your tables....
    It may be that you have a stylesheet applied to your pages on your website
    that changes the default properties.

    Thank you LDudd for answering. However, I didn't ask my question right! When
    I am editing I hit enter once to add a line just beneath. However, it will
    look double-spaced. Most of the time when you publish it it is fine and single
    spaced. However, I have a spot now where I'm adding a name to a vertical list
    of names. I go to the end of a name and hit enter to add a name directly
    beneath and it looks double-spaced. In this instance when I publish it is
    double-spaced also.

    Please help!!!!! I have no experience at this stuff and just had the software
    thrown at me!!!!

    Tell your admin to look in the Help for a topic called "Setting the Editing
    options in the Role Settings dialog box" and there you will learn about the two
    possible settings for how to treat a newline. If this Editing option (set for
    each Contribute role) is set to "One line, as in standard word processors" then
    a newline will simply take your cursor to the next line (single-spaced, like
    you want it). If it is set to "Two lines, as in web page editors" then each
    time you type in a newline, you will start a new paragraph, which will
    typically have an empty line before/after it.

    It sounds like your setup is set to the second option. If so, to get your
    names to display without any blank lines between them, instead of hitting Enter
    after each name, hit Shift-Enter and your cursor will go to a newline without
    starting a new paragraph.

    I hope this helps!
