Newline without double spacing?

    In some cases, I’d like to enter a newline (line break) without causing my text to double space.

    I have installed the Ultimate TinyMCE plugin, and used it to make the text in question smaller than the body (without any newlines) text above it.

    I can see that this topic has been discussed extensively on the web, but the suggestion to “SHIFT Enter” does not work for the smaller text. The double spaces remain.

    The WordPress HTML view does not show the <p> that is apparently being inserted each time I hit Enter.

    I formatted my text in Word, and and tried the “Paste Word” function, but that didn’t work at all.

    I realize I’ll need to learn to muck around with the .css files, but right now I’m hoping there’s a quicker fix.

    Suggestions appreciated. If I should be editing in some other editor and just pasting the final product into WordPress, that’s fine, let me know – but I’m on a Mac, so can’t use the Windows editor everyone loves.

    Thanks.

    Why you use a different editor? Probably an issue fo the plugin, hav you tried with default WP editor if the problem persists?

    Hmmm. Good point.

    Even with the plugin installed, SHIFT-Enter does work to remove newlines when my text is in the default font size – but that leaves me with my original problem of making this text 2-3 points smaller than the text above. Suggestions on that?

    (I have to say, I’m a little surprised that such elementary visual text manipulation is such a giant production in WordPress. Reminds me of my days formatting my resume in vi and troff 25 years ago.)

    Give me a link to one post/page where the problem happens so I can verify the source of your code…
