Not sure. But I can say that you have a lot of font tags going on there with all different sizes and colors. Maybe clean them up a little and see what happens.

I'm going to say it's the extra font tags too. Clean up the code and I would think the spacing will return to normal. By the way you do need to close font tags and it doesn't look like they've all been closed.

Cleaning up the code will probably fix the problem.

Even better -- dump the font tags completely and learn to use CSS to control font size (among a zillion other things). You will have far less maintenance headaches too.

HI
First of all thank you to those who replied - however if you look at the page http://www.indianriverfestival.com/f...l/director.htm there are not many font tags. However I took them out (offline) except for the main body of text (which has the problem) and it still had the problem and that is with just one font tag. True I replaced the font tag with an inhead <style> for <P> and the problem went away so perhaps CSS is the best bet. I use CSS on sites that I originally create - this is a site I cleaned up (yes it was much. much worse) made by another company.

Eureka I found the problem:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

The above is living proof that one should engage brain even when cutting and pasting - and never paste anything that you dont stop to consider he ramifications of. This is a humbling experience

Thanks Everyone
