Image & Form Links

Hi there, I’m new to this forum and very new to WordPress, but I love it already.
The current layout I have on my blog has my links in a form – drop down list – but I am changing them over in WordPress to become image links. Because I have so many links though I don’t want a break between each link, rather I would just like a space between them. I have tried to put   in each of these fields:
Before Link:
Between Link and Description:
After Link:
but with no success! It still puts a break in between each image. Can anyone tell me how to fix this so there is just a space? Or alternatively is there a way to keep my links in a drop down list, but still create this in link manager?
(I don’t ask much do I??)
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
