I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the "double spacing" when you
hit enter (I've all ready tried going into paragraph) I am using FrontPage
2002 on Windows XP with an Athlon 757mhz processor
 
That is a normal html characteristic to create a new paragraph. You can use
shift+enter for single spacing.

Hit shift+enter for a <br>. Just hitting enter starts a new
paragraph <p>.

Use Shift+Enter for a single line.
This is an html standard so there
isn't any setting in FrontPage to change it.
( at least I don't think there is )

Instead of hitting Enter at the end of a line, hit Shift+Enter to insert a
line break (<br>). The result is still a single paragraph with no spacing
between the lines. The resulting HTML looks like this:
<p>First line of text<br>
Second line of text</p>

And can be used as many times as necessary:
<p>First line of text<br>
Second line of text<br>
Third line<br>
etc.</p>

The "double spacing" is automatic and will always happen between paragraphs.
Ever since the beginning of time - well, Internet time, but that's all that
matters :) - this:
<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>

has been interpreted by the browser to mean, show the first paragraph, add
some whitespace, show the next paragraph. This is because reading tightly
condensed text on screen can be difficult. If you're putting up a long text
piece, leaving the default behavior is best.

But if you're just trying to tighten up bits of text, the Shift+Enter trick
is what you need.

Good luck!
