Mystery spaces after paragraphs, effect from cutting/pasting

I am typing a rather long document for a graduate class. I placed my notes, quotes, etc. in an outline form in pages 09. I am now cutting and pasting those texts into a new document in pages 09. HOWEVER, at the end of a paragraph, it gives me mysterious blank space and starts the next paragraph on the next page. I've checked and I do not have it set up to do the "paragraph on next page" from the inspector. It has something to do with the cutting and pasting, I'm sure.
any help? how do you erase phantom space? ps---- I have tried deleting back to it, but the moment you hit enter, its back down AND don't try using space bar because it resets itself after a while. HELP!

It obviously has some hidden formatting characters.
You can try and show them by:
+Menu > View > Show Invisibles+
But to purge them, best is simply copy and paste all the text into a text only TextEdit page, then cut that and paste it back into Pages as clean text.

Getting blank space after paragraph in RTF template

Hi there,
Thanks so much for all your help for your help.
I am running into one issue in RTF template, wanted to share with you to get any input on this. I have paragraph and Idid put in table at the top and there is xml tag that gives names after that paragraph. but I get blank spaces after paragraph and it shows names from that xml tag.

That's the reason I thought of putting this post again to get more inputs that may have.
Can anyone put some light onthis.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version.

Where does one set space after paragraph in the new Pages 5.0? It used to be under text in the Inspector in the previous version, but I just can't find it in this new version. Paragraphs seem to only be dealt with in styles, and the Formatting window for text doesn't seem to have the space after paragraph contrtol that the older Inspector had. What am I missing?

Sorry I did this without looking:
Side panel >Text > Style > Spacing > Turn the triangle > Before Paragraph/After Paragraph/
This is the trouble with the Peeky Boo Contextual Interface that so many wiser heads than mine love to love.

How do I remove space after paragraph?

Does Robohelp have the "Remove Space after paragraph" button for reducing the space between lines, like the one in Word?

In HTML the space after is controlled by the style in your CSS file. You need to edit the style in the Style Editor.

Space after Paragraph: How much picas equal a blank line in Garamond Regular 7.5?

I'm using Indesign CC and would like to add a blank line after every paragraph in my document. I found out how to do that, but the only unit I'm offered is picas. I could probably switch to inches, but that doesn't really help me. My main text is written in Garamond Regular font size 7.5 and I would like to have blank space after each paragraph equal to a blank line written in that font with that size. How do if find out much large a blank line with those font settings is? I guessed and it seems to be equal to 0p7, but it would be great if I could do that without guessing blindly. I'm glad for any help.

I am not sure to understand. Garamond (or any other typeface) 7.5 equals to… 7.5 pts. But the size of a typeface is measured from ascender to descender, so it does not give you an accurate idea of the real height of the line. But leading is measured from baseline to baseline and this corresponds to the measure you are looking for. Once again, you need to know the leading value and you have to enter this value for the space after.
And 1 pica is equal to 12 pts.

Space after paragraph not appearing in browsers.

Question from a newbie.
I'm using Dreamweaver (latest version) to create a rather long daily newsletter. Lots of paragraphs. I'm finding that many times, after a paragraph, I'll see a space before the next pargraph but then when I save the final page and open it in a browser the space between the paragraphs is gone.
This doesn't happen with every paragraph. I can go back and 'fix' this by backing up the second paragraph into the previous, then hitting Enter twice.
What I want: If I see a single line space between two paragraphs in Design mode I want it to appear that way in my browser. (I use both Firefox and Chrome.)
Thank you!

Thanks in advance for your help.
FYI - I'm creating a rather long HTML newsletter for clients each day. It's mostly paragraph after paragraph. Very simple.
In the problem described above I noticed that when in Dreamweaver I always see a line between paragraphs. This is what I want to see. But a few times in each document, when I open it in a browser the line has gone away.
When the line has vanished (in my browser) is see this code between paragraphs:
 
When the paragraphs show up as they should in the browser this is the code between them:

Space after paragraph "returns"

Hi!
I've made a template so that I don't have to keep telling Pages not to make space after each paragraph, but... Each time I use a style (like Heading) it automaticlly sets the space after a paragraph to 12 pt. This is annoying - can I change it?
Thanks

You are most welcome.
I found the pdf Pages 2 User Guide accessible from the front help page to be the most useful thing. It's 250 pages but there is a great deal of white space in there. It contains most of the useful conceptual stuff you need that is absent from the individual help snippets.
Don't ever feel guilty about posting a question though. That's what these boards are for.

Align text between columns with space after paragraphs.

I am creating a proposal with a ton of text. I used to align everything to a baseline grid with justified type and indented paragraphs. Recently, however, I was asked to change the style to left aligned text with spaces between the paragraphs. The text flows into two columns per page, but I'll be damned if I can get the text to line up. I've tried different baseline grids as well as before and after spacing. I think my issue might be trying to keep paragraph spacing as half the leading. If my copy text leading and baseline are 14 or 7 pt, will a 7 pt paragraph space after work?
My leading and pt size is below, if anyone can point me to a solution.
Body copy: 9 pt font/14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 3.5/3.5
Subheaders: 10 pt font/ 14 pt leadingSpace before/after: 7/3.5
Baseline: tried both 14 pt and 7 pt

That's what I thought. I was taught to either have an indented second paragraph or to separate the paragraphs by half the leading of the type. Seems like it's impossible to align the text that way. A full leading separation (14 pt) between paragraphs seems excessive though.

Space after paragraph

The new version of Pages is missing a few things, or at least I can't find them (flow between text boxes being foremost). Where is the tool to add space after and/or before a paragraph?

Pages: Space after paragraphs

I am unable to find a way to create space before or after paragraphs. The original Pages inspector facility was just brilliant, better than Word, so why tinker with it? Hard to understand this. The new Pages interface is not easy to follow, but I guess I will get used to it. Could anybody please tell me how I can create space before and after paragraph in a document.
Please help,
Pat

I had the same problem and looked forever without luck. Fortunately, my little brother found the answer!

BUG: Background Highlight extends to space after paragraph

Hey,
there is an inherent bug in the functionality of the background color highlight of a text style.
1. Create two paragraphs of text styled with the same paragraph style.
2. Create a character style called Bold with the color backgroud property set to a color, let's say yellow.
3. Adjust the spacing of your paragraph style to 20 pt and update the style.
4. Apply the character style Bold to the last line of your first paragraph.
5. The highlight will fill the gap, instead of simply staying behind the type.
The only workaround to avoid this is to create ghost paragraph breaks between the lines – this is pretty retro. Please fix. Generelly, the highlight fills the line space unevenly. Look at this screenshot:

This isn't a bug, the selection highlight shows the text and its spacing, the larger the spacing, the larger the highlight box will be.
This applies to any text in any application on the Mac, Keynote, Pages, Word, InDesign.

How to space after paragraph in pages

If I could do one thing with Pages on the iPad, I would be completely happy with it: controlling the spacing after a paragraph.
This formatting feature is in the regular Pages and the cloud version. Why leave it out of the iPad version?
Or is it there and just very difficult to find?

Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

The same cuts that I have in this clip that i performed with the blade tool, I want to duplicate, copye, paste and apply to another clip. I want the cuts to mimic and be an exact same. I wish i could highlight the clip, click copy and then highlight the other clip and then click paste and the cuts apply.

Irregular spaces after pasting in ID

When I copy text from either Word or Text Editor into ID, there are irregular spaces between sentences throughout the 200 page document.
I am a newbie to ID, but I have been trying a multitude of things to fix this...and still have the problem. Can someone please help?
(A little background...the person who sent me these files, sent them in individual emails in which I had to copy and paste in Word. They inserted spaces, returns, etc. manually.)

Some of us older folks who grew up with typewriters learned that you have to hit the return key (or worse...hit the carriage-return lever...GASP!) at the end of the line, and it could be that the person who keyed this in did that instead of letting Word do the automatic wrapping. How ever it got that way, Joel is right in that you need to remove them.
Another way you may consider is using Find/Change. Enter ^p into the Find field (that's the code for a paragraph return), place the cursor at the beginning of your text and hit the Find button. When it finds the first paragraph return, decide if you want to keep it or not. If you want to remove it, hit either the Change button, then the Find button to move to the next one, or use the Change/Find button to change and find in one step.
Without anything entered into the Change field, it will replace the paragraph return with nothing, which may or may not be what you want. If there is no space between the last character of the line and the paragraph return, you will likely get the last word of one line combined with the first word of the next line, and you really don't want to have to clean that up. Instead, consider replacing the paragraph returns with a space (by typing a space into the Change field). This may give you some double spaces to clean up later, but you can fix that fairly easily.
At the top of the Find/Change window, you will see Query:. If you click the blue arrows to the right, you can select from a number of GREPs. One of them is Multiple Space to Single Space. If you choose it, it will load a bunch of code into the find and change fields. If you hit Change All, it will find any instance of two spaces or more in a row and change them to single spaces within the selection, story, document or what ever you have selected in the Search: field. If there is any reason you need some instances to remain two spaces or more, don't use Change All. Instead, use find, change, find next, change/find or which ever combination you're comfortable with. You may find that people who hit return at the end of each line also use two spaces after each sentence, which is also a typewriter convention that we don't use any longer in electronic typesetting. This is a good way to fix that problem too.
Also common are two returns to separate paragraphs, which should be done with paragraph spacing, but that's another story, so one step at time.

How can I Cut & paste an address from one address book to another on my PC.

My work computer has 3 address books - 1 personal address book, 2 collected address book, 3 work related address book.
After a couple of years I would like to tidy up my address books & cut & paste some of them from here to there. However there seems to be no cut & paste or copy & paste feature that I can locate anywhere????
I can't drag & drop an address from one to another either.
Can anyone please help
BevN

Cut and paste a whole contacts information has never available because it entails different components. Cut/Copy and paste has always been available if you are only selecting one part of the information, but this means you have to open a specific contacts Properties.
'''How to drag and drop contacts between address books:'''
In the left Directory Pane, select the address book containing the contact you want to move. You should see a list of contacts in the right Contact Pane.
Drag & Drop process:
* Left click and hold down on a contact in the list to grab, then drag that contact to the left and hover over the address book where you want to put the contact. Then release the mouse button to drop into that address book.
You can move more than one contact.
* Hold down 'Ctrl' key and use mouse to select and highlight various contacts.
* then use the D&D process - (left click, hold down on any highlighted contact to grab all highlighted contacts).
