 * Ok i’m dazzled. I can’t understand this.
    Here is my problem: [http://www.knus-zaventem.be/help.JPG](http://www.knus-zaventem.be/help.JPG)
   Screenshot of when I am typing a new post. I can’t type without spacing. Someone
   told me to adjust the space through the .css (line-height it hink) but that doesn’t
   fix it entirely. its err, better but messier.

 * Maybe if you made what the problem is a bit clearer? From what I see, whatever
   you’re typing into your editor is what shows up on the site. What do you mean
   by “spacing”…do you mean the line breaks? That’s because WordPress inserts P 
   tags when you start a new paragraph (which is what it *should* do).
 * I don’t understand what the problem is, exactly.

 * Well I can’t post lines directly after eachotter.
    Like this:
 * Sentence 1
    Sentence 2
 * instead (as you see on the screen) its
 * Sentence 1
 * Sentence 2
 * As you set in word that after a alinea/sentence/whatever you have 12pt space.

 * And I want to write a paragrah like this
 * Adress
    Street Number City
 * But I would get
 * Adress
 * Street Number
 * City

 * Press SHIFT+ENTER at the end of each line to not start a new paragraph.

 * Ahh..I see.
 * Well, you could do what Otto says. Anotehr option (I like giving options!) would
   be to turn off the editor and assign a class to certain paragraphs. So your paragraph
   could stay as it is for regular blocks of text (with a nice space between paragraphs),
   but for stuff like the example above, you could put in a class that would remove
   the space between them.
 * For example:
 * `<p class="single">Address</p>
    <p class="single">Street Number</p> <p class="
   single">City</p>
 * and then in your CSS:
 * p.single {
    line-height:1em; padding:0; margin:0; }
 * Of course, after reviewing all of that, Otto’s thing seems much simpler 😉

 * You can also click the “view html” button from the editor and add a single carriage
   return by adding in the `<br />` tag.
 * Thats what I do… it’s quick and easy.
