White space when inserting Text Box

Hi PD. No, there are no tags below the paragraph, this is text that I am creating. So, when I put a text-box between two paragraphs, a lot of white space gets added above and below the box. Which I need to reduce.

I need a code similar to nbsp; (with ampersand in front) to reduce (as opposed to adding space like nbsp; does).

Thanks,

That can’t be right, PD. There must be code to reduce white space for a single instance.

I don’t want to change the paragraph spacing, just reduce the extra white space that gets inserted whenever I add a text box.

What code would you use if you wanted to reduce spacing between two paragraphs — but only do it occasionally, not all the time?

Thanks again.

Issue resolved — I manged to figure out how to write code to eliminate the unwanted white space.

Sure, PD. I discovered that by centering the text box — by adding margin space — I was inadvertently adding margin space on all four sides of the box, rather than just left and right. Moving the box 50px in from the left margin therefore added 50px to the top and bottom margins as well.

So the solution is: Insert code telling the system to add only to the side or sides of the box that you want it to add to. For example: instead of inserting “margin:50px” you should specify “margin-left:50px” or “margin-right:20px” etc. That way, no white space gets added above or below the box.

It took me many hours to figure this out!

You’re very welcome! Have a great day..

Best,
