Hi,

I am trying to reduce the amount of space between two lines of text within a cell.

Does anybody know how to do this? I have tried changing line height in the CSS Styles tab but this only allows me to increase the space and not reduce.

Any suggestions?
Cheers!.

only allows you to increaes it?

you can type in any value you want to modify the css, and if the css tab wont let you, do it manually.

one way i like to take height away from text is to have my P tag set to 0 padding and 0 margin.

Hi thanks for the reply,...

But I still can't get to reduce the space between two lines of text:

"Id like to show the space between lines
like the space between these two lines"


"But instead it's giving me a space of

about this much"

I can't seem to reduce that space from editing CSS,..

Any suggestions!?
I am just a newbie!!

Have you tried giving a negative line height?

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>
p {
font:10px/1.1em verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
</font id=code></pre id=code>
above will give font size of 10px, a line height of 1.1em (which = 11px), takes out padding and margin, that by defualt will set the whitespace between paragraphs.

so it will now act as if you had done shift+enter
