     Ask An Ambassador
- Thursday Techie Tidbit -
            Spacing   
Volume One Number One

 

Ever start writing, hit a key and everything looks messy? 

Ever have striving for appearance interfere with paying attention to the content you want to share?

 Ever want to change the size of the image or add space near the side of the image?  

Seemingly small items can ruffle the flow when writing a post. Today let's focus on line spacing. How can one make the space between lines tighter?

When typing, if the copy on the first line is long, when one gets to the end of the line, the words continue to complete the sentence and the spacing is elegant.

Suppose, however, that the copy finishes before the end of the line?

If one hits RETURN (or Enter, etc.), this LARGER space results.

   Try this to get the reduced line spacing: 
     WHILE HOLDING DOWN SHIFT, hit RETURN (or Enter, etc.), then the spacing will be
        tighter - as if the two sentences were being typed as one continuous commentary.

Method:
Just hit RETURN (or Enter, etc.) while keeping the SHIFT pressed down in the IN LOCKED position and the next line will pull up tightly looking very sophisticated as people focus on the content of the post.

If you want larger spaces between the parts of the sentence, simply hit the RETURN (or Enter, etc.) as you reach the end of the sentence and the larger space will result!

These techie tidbids are certain to be valuable to many, Lynn.  I have a friend who needed to resize a picture this past weekend.  Rather than simply doing it for her, I talked her through it over the phone.

This is very helpful and I don't like the default line spacing with the default font within ActiveRain.  My solution was to try and change the font, but that didn't always work out so well, haha.

Good morning Lynn B. Friedman I got into the habit of writing my posts as a Word document and then copy and paste into the blog editor. 98% of the time it accepts the Word formatting.

Or use the "Tx" after pasting in from WORD. 
Hope to write that up also.
Thanks for stopping by - Lynn
