In frontpage, when I go to Insert, file, I get a double spaced file. I know I can go back and go SHIFT Enter and get it to be single spaced, but is there a way to change the settings to single spaced as the default

Nope, that didn't do anything. Thanks for trying though

Yes you can change this. I am currently using FP 2003.

Go to...
format>paragraph

Under "spacing"...
before = 0
after = 0

Let me know if this helps.

Yep that worked. Thank you dlfn trx! Is there a way to set this as the default?

Hi jeter4982, When i use the before = 0 after = 0 spacing i all ways do it on the frist line and it just follows as the same for the rest of the lines. when using tables it is the same some times. but i have not found a place were you can change the defult my self i have looked but too much to take in lol, hope (dlfn trx) has an answer for us.

Yours Ash

Yes, there is a way to do this, but it requires you to set up a theme on your website. You need to set the theme when you create a NEW website in FrontPage. It is to messy to try to add a theme after you already have a site built.

Again, I'm using FrontPage 2003...

Format> Theme> Create new theme (at the very bottom)> Text> More Text Styles> Modify> Format> Paragraph>

Under "spacing"...
before = 0
after = 0

BE SURE TO MAKE THIS YOUR DEFAULT THEME- click on the theme you just created and select "Apply as default theme"

This way is a little bit more complicated, but it works. If you are building a big website it might help, but I usually just stick to shift+enter.

Feel free to post questions...

Hi this is all i found lol still good thow Create a new theme
To create a new theme, you must change an existing theme and then save your changes under a new name.
On the Format menu, click Theme.
In the list, select a theme on which you want to base your new theme.

Thanks for the reply (dlfn trx) for the future i going to have to give it a go, it will be alot of help. you make me so happy thankyou again (dlfn trx)

Ash,

Your very welcome! I'm glad I could help you!

I think if you follow the way I told you at the top, you will not have to create a new theme by modifying an existing theme. That just gets messy because existing themes have a bunch of extra stuff in them.
