Line Spacing in Dreamweaver CC

Hi,
I'm working with an html file in Dreamweaver CC. I'm trying to create a single spaced line. When I press "Shift Enter" at the end of a sentence I do indeed get a single spaced line to follow. However, it assumes the same formatting from the line above. The line above is header 3 while I want the line below to be paragraph. I can't seem to be able to change the format on the one below without it impacting the one above as well. Can anyone be of assistance?
Thanks.

What you describe is a symptom of unclosed tags somewhere in your code. Validate your code and fix reported errors:

How to adjust line spacing

Can you adjust the line spacing in Dreamweaver or does it have to be done by code? And how so?

Line-spacing on what? Headings, Lists, Paragraphs...? With CSS rules, you can define line spacing for all selectors in the body rules. Or you can specify different line-heights on individual selectors.
CSS global rule (applied to all selectors):
body {line-height: 100%}
CSS more specific rule (applied only to named selectors):
#header p {
line-height: 2;
#footer p {
line-height: 1.5;

CSS line spacing + XML

I am using a Spry accordion in DW CS3 to read an XML file.
The XML file contains breaks (not coded), but within the Accordion
content, all the paragraphs are run together.

LIne spacing +css

What a css setting for eliminating the extra line space that
occurs after a </p>
If this were in Word, this space would be equivalant to a
double space after an enter.
Thanks!

Modifyling Line Spacing

I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004. I have a Navigation list in
the left vertical layout table using a style I created called
Navlist. It works correctly with hovers etc. The only thing I don't
like is that the spacing between the lines of text is too close. I
have used a <br> return. If I use a <p> return it is
way too much. Is there a way I can use edit the style with the css
panel to increase (or decrease) the spacing slightly?
Thanks
Mike

"Line Spacing" vs. leading

How does "Line Spacing" in static or dynamic text fields
(explicitliy set in the "Formatting Options" window) compare w/
"leading" when creating a text field w/ AS?
Is a "Line Spacing" setting of 10 the same as my_fmt.leading
= 10;?
In a Flash 7 file I'm trying to get the spacing between lines
in an AS-created text field to be closer than default, but it seems
that leading can be a positive value. But if a similar static field
looks good w/ Line Spacing set at 0, why is there no equivalent w/
leading?

To clarify... If the query row is omitted from the
indexed/array notation, then isValid() and <cfparam />
produce different results.
In the attached code example below, the query row was omitted
intentionally to illustrate.
Two possible solutions are:
1) Make isValid() throw an error (so that they both throw an
error)
2) Make <cfparam /> not throw an error (so that they
both do not throw an error)
I feel the behavior should be consistent. Does anyone feel
otherwise? If the behavior should be consistent, then which
solution, or other solution, is preferred?
Let's discuss!
Thanks,
-Aaron

Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

I have "upgraded" from Pages 2.0.2 to Pages 5.5.3 and can no longer customize my line spacing. Does anyone know if there are more than 4 options for line spacing?

Is it possible to customize line spacing in Pages 5.5.3? My previous Pages 2.0.2 allowed me to choose spacing in 0.1 increments, but as far as I can tell Pages 5.5.3 only offers four options. Very limiting for creative documents.

Hi Margaret,
Does this work for you?
And 0.6
Or 1.6
Please call back if this does not help.

Ian.

How can I change or reduce the line spacing to single in a "multiple lines of text" column in a list?

We keep many logs in a simple list format. One of the columns requires a description using the "multiple lines of text" default column. Sometimes the person making the entry needs to complete about 20-30 lines of text. Users are requesting we reduce
the amount of space advanced between lines to save space and be more concise. Is there a way to reduce the line spacing for the column entries to single spacing without code?

We determined that the site column settings were incorrect for allowing single spacing, we changed the site column setting from "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" to "Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)"
and it is now keeping the text in single spaced lines.
<label for="onetidRichText">Specify the type of text to allow:</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextPlain" name="RichText" title="Plain text" type="radio" value="PLAIN" />
<label for="onetidRichTextPlain">Plain text </label>
<input id="onetidRichTextCompatible" name="RichText" title="Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="COMPATIBLE" />
<label for="onetidRichTextCompatible">Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextFullHtml" name="RichText" title="Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="FullHtml" />
<label for="onetidRichTextFullHtml">Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)</label>

Line Spacing in text field.

Hi,
I have added many text fields to my pdf document. Some of them need following:
1.
Adjust the line spacing between two lines.
2.
Make the text "justified".
I can not find any way to accomplish these things. Can anyone tell me how to do these things?
Thanks,
Vijay

Geo,
Are you talking about check box "Allow Rich Text Formatting" in the Text Field Properties dialog box? I have it checked.
But still it does not give me ability to adjust line spacing or "justify"ing the text.
Thanks,
Vijay

In Notes, I do not have a format bar. Under views there is no option to toggle this feature on or off. How then, can I set line spacing in documents? or is there some trick to getting the format bar that they say exists?

I want to be able to adjust line spacing in the Notes program. The help menu says that there is format bar and that I can choose this spacing. I do not have a format bar. They said that you can toggle this on and off under the View menu. I have not option in my dropdown that gives me an option to show or hide the format bar. Is there a reason why my version does not seem to have this feature?

Sorry for the wishy washy response but potential YES and possibly NO. Your user data should be intact but the OS may not be able to boot. You have a backup?

Pages 5: Spacing between bullets (not line spacing)

How can I control the spacing between bullets?
1. I clearly see how to control the spacing around a bullet relevant to its text. That's not what I'm referring to.
2. I clearly see how to set line spacing. That's not what I'm referring to.
What I'd like to do is keep a line spacing of 1.0 on the text, but add padding between list items (between bulleted content). The method in Pages '09 was to add buffer space "after the paragraph" (or before). However, in Pages 5.0 this option does not exist. Some of my bullets have enough content that wraps, which is why line spacing is not an acceptable solution.
How can I control spacing between bulleted list items, such that each chunk of content is better separated?
Thank you!

Silly me. I have located it, by expanding the Spacing menu. The control I'm looking for is right there.
I've included a screencap, in case anyone else misses the obvious like I have. Thanks for looking!

Can you change the line spacing in the legend?

Is there a way to change the line spacing in the legend? I have a pie chart with text and I can't change the line spacing for its legend like you would in a regular text. Is there a way to change it?

For space between each line, use the leading value in the Character pallet. For space between paragraphs, use the Space Before or Space After values in the Paragraph pallet.

How do I change line spacing in a Mail signature? Where's the formatting menu?

I want to reduce double-spacing in my Mail signature to single spacing so it's more compact and doesn't take up all kinds of vertical space (more than the email itself--I've had recipients complain about this--and it's a business email). I have a logo (.png) in the signature that I've been using with no problem. I have text above and below the logo. It's just too widely spaced. Surely there must be a formatting menu that I can use to shrink the line spacing in Mail Signatures? Or elsewhere, then reimport and have the formatting stick? This is a pretty basic feature for an email client to offer. Is there a simple solution to this?

Dynamic Text line spacing issue

Hi, in my Flash movie (CS3) I want all text to be selectable.
When I select 'static' and 'selectable', I have the following issues:
- Some of the text does not fit into the available (scrolling required to see the end of text)
- This is larger than when in Flash.
When I use 'dynamic' text, I have the following issues:
- The line spacing displays different in the exported swf than it does in Flash (line spacing is much greater in the swf)
- I am a designer so the appearance / positioning of the text is crucial
Is this common?
Is there any way to make the text in Flash and swf appear consistent?
Many thanks

First of all, maybe you don't know it, but static text can't be made selectable even in theory. Therefore what you're seeing when you click "Selectable" option, is a dynamic text. As for line spacing, I don't see any difference between Flash CS4 and resulting SWF. The only strange thing I've found is the necessarity to enlarge the bounding rectangle when I change the text type from static to dynamic. Otherwise bottom line of text just disappears. It looks like a bug. Also I don't see "Autosize" option being working here in CS4. I doubleclick on bottom right corner of the text block, small square is transformed into a diamond, and bounding rect is "autosized" around the text block. But the bottom text line disappears just as I deselect the text object. All it looks some stange...
