Hi,
I need with formatting of data. Suppose i wanna have few spaces in a line before i start my typing my content. How can i achieve that?
For example:
Hello
I'm not sure if the above Hello has spaces before it bcoz there might be a format probs here as well. So lets take
...........Hello
Now instead of . i need spaces and then start my content.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This can be done with "indent". When you create or edit a new post... on the "Visual" editor screen, there is a button to "Show/Hide Kitchen Sink". Please click on it. It should show a new row of icons. From here, you may be able to figure out the icon to do "indent". If you need any further help, please post it here.

Pothi. Thanks a lot for your help.
I got it and saw the indent feature. But when i was using it, it was indenting the whole paragraph. I just wanted one line. So I hit enter before that line but it added an extra spacing line. How can I remove the spacing between 2 lines in visual editor? I didn't see any icon to remove spacing as we see in microsoft word.

But when i was using it, it was indenting the whole paragraph. I just wanted one line.
To do this, please do indent as usual for the whole paragraph and then click on "HTML" tab (next to "Visual"). Here, please search the term "padding-left". Once you find the term, please replace it with the text "text-indent".
How can I remove the spacing between 2 lines in visual editor?
This is little tricky to achieve. Assume you type a single line of text. Now, you'd press "ENTER" key to type the next line of text. Before hitting the "ENTER" key, please hold the "SHIFT" key. So, basically "Shift + Enter" key should do the trick.
Also, wat if i wanna use courier new & verdana font in my post. Can i do it?
Yes, of course. You can do this (and a lot more). But, you would be willing to learn a bit of HTML and CSS as there is no button or other way easier way to do this.

You might want to use "Paste from Word" button (6th button on Kitchen Sink). Or you may use Advanced TinyMCE plugin that brings more features to the default editor in WordPress.

First of all, thanks for the detailed explanation
I replaces the padding left with text-indent and it didn't indent a line than the whole paragraph but i ended up having an extra line. I went to Visual and with shift+enter i was able to remove extra space only to notice that the first line in that para was indented and not the line that i wanted.
I'm willing to learn a bit of HTML and CSS. Can you please let me know how can i use courier new and verdana fonts?
Tried pasting from word but still the same formatting issue. It didn't solve the probs. I activated plugin that u mentioned but i didn't see any extra options when i was trying to write new post. What and how shud we use that after activating?
Thanks

Please copy and paste the following code onto your editor's HTML tab and you should be able to see the indent only for the first line of the paragraph and you would see "hello" and "world" in the consecutive lines instead of paragraphs.
People are right. But, software is wrong.
<p style="text-indent: 30px;">The intro tab section .. in word each on of the fields was coming one below the other .. but in here its kind of messed up.

hello
worldI'm willing to learn a bit of HTML and CSS. Can you please let me know how can i use courier new and verdana fonts?
Basically, you'd need the following code to bring courier new...
<div style="font-family: courier new;">

hello
world
</div>Kindly see the difference between the previous code and this code. There is a new "style" inserted to have the new font. You might not notice the difference in the WP editor screen. You need to click the "preview" button to see the changes in font. Please replace "courier new" with whatever font you'd like to see.

I'm sorry to hear it did not work as expected. I'm not currently using this plugin. I only wanted to recommend it to you as it offers a lot more options. You may want to post a new question about it on this section. You may also see what issues others faced on the link and it may help you too.
PS: I just noticed in my previous reply, the link didn't work. I'm sorry about providing the wrong link.

Sorry sorry sorry .. I made a lot of spell mistakes .. shud hav read atleast once wat i posted. Here i'm posting again
I replaced the padding left with text-indent and it **did** indent a line than the whole paragraph but i ended up having an extra line space. I went to Visual and with shift+enter i was able to remove extra space only to notice that the first line in that para was indented and not the line (3rd line) that i wanted.
<p> indents the 1st line of a para and i want to indent the 3rd line of para. Anyways, i managed it with & nbsp ; so dats fine. Here is the link

I wanted to format the |D-DU–UD-| line
Thanks for the courier new font thing. I'm now able to post my things in verdana and courier new .. same way as i do in ms word. Thanks much. It solved lots of my format issues.
Just one more question .. i'm not sure if this can be achieved .. in courier new font .. if i put 2 hyphens -- it shows up as one big hyphens instead of 2 small. In MS word dats not the case. u can have a look in the same above link. In |D--U----| .. there's 2 hyphens btwn D & U and after U ther's 4 hyphens but 2 hyphens combined in one.
Can you share any link to learn basic html. I can google it and find one .. but if you already have one plz share.
Thanks,
Gangadhar

I think this discussion might help you. I think there is a plugin to achieve what you intend to do. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the plugin.
On basic HTML, I think I learned it from Google too. I heard good reviews about HTML dog. This might help you too.
