Paragraph Spacing

I’m unable to control the huge gap between paragraphs for "1 – Single Spacing". If I cut and paste different ways its possible get rid of that huge gap. Even when I preview I can see differences between some paragraphs and not others.

Anyone know how to minimize that space? I’ only using the Calibri 12 font but I need to put way more text on one page than its letting me.

I’ve played around with the Text Layouts and it doesn’t do anything either.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

I was having the same issues when I cut & paste lots of text from Microsoft Word.  It was driving me bananas—huge spaces between paragraphs like you said.  I finally fixed it by highlighting all my text in Word (not blurb) and changing the paragraph settings (Format > Paragraph . . . >).  Rather than have the line spacing before and after the paragraph at "auto," I changed it to "0 pt." on both.  The text didn’t look much different in Word, but when I cut & pasted it into Blurb, the problem was solved!  I hope that helps.

James;

BookSmart can’t handle formatted Word text at all well…

Re-import (copy & paste) the script using the "Paste As"  "Plain Text" option, and then use BookSmart’s own (limited) text formatting functions..

We are promised a far better text handling engine in the next release… due "late summer"...

Cheers;
