Unwanted margin tags

[designgoblin]

A client of mine has been cut/pasting text into Dreamweaver templates I've
built using Contribute. The text comes in with additional "margin" tags which
bugger up my CSS styles and the paragraph spacing.

<p class="textMain" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom: 0;">

Has anyone encountered this prob? I got them to try a raw text file instead of
cutting from Word, but with the same results. I wondered maybe they should
import rather than cut/paste?

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated as I can't fix their site forever :(

Try going under the following in Contribute:

Administer Sites>Choose a Role>Edit Roles and Settings> Editing> then choose "Two Lines as in web page editors"

I found the solution. It's a preference you set in Contribute when
administering a site: Edit>Administer Web Sites, select the site name and enter
un/pass. In the groups dialog, you can select paragraph spacing (which I think
also appears when you first set up a site in Contribute) From here you can
select one-line or two-line spacing. One line is described as "word " style
editing, the other as "dreamweaver" style. It's the first option that adds the
additional tags to remove standard <p> paragraph spacing. If you want to
control the spacing with a custom style, which i do, then the dreamweaver
option is needed so the <p> tags are clean. :)
