Inconsistent spacing between lines of text

Hi! I'm a Sandvox newbie working my way through Version 1.x, and I'm having a problem with keeping uniform spacing between various lines of text. In one paragraph, the text will have proper "leading" and a nice spacious feel, while the next graf will appear overly compressed. As far as I know, I've not changed any settings between grafs, nor can I find any setting to establish, say, 1.5 as my default spacing for all the text. I'm sure I'm missing something simple -- can anyone help?

Many thanks!

I am having the same problem with version 2.5.2; it seems that the text I copied from my iWeb site formats single spaced by what I copy from Word looks like 1.5 or double spaced.

Dan,

I'm not sure what template you're using, but there's probably a base spacing, and either iWeb or Word is screwing with it. Here's an example on how to set it: http://kofrojl.clarify-it.com/d/ezlep3

Re: Inconsistent spacing between lines of text

When you copied and pasted the text, did you simply paste it or did you use menu Edit>Paste and Match Style? The former will give unpredictable results in some cases; the latter will use the style defined in the template you are using.

Go to "Format / clear style" might help

Is there a way to select text and change the formatting and spacing?

Re: Inconsistent spacing between lines of text

Text handling really isn't a Sandvox strongpoint. Well, to be fair, it is and it isn't. On the strongpoint side, it protects the innocent from the ravages of text handling with CSS and HTML. As a result, of course, text properties are fairly strictly defined in the designs themselves, though you can do some useful stuff with the menu Format>Fonts>Show fonts. Leading doesn't come into this, however, so for that you'll have to resort to some code injection, using the CSS line-height property.
