text becomes crowed with sub/superscripts

Our web page has math formulas that contain subscripts, superscripts, square
brackets etc.
We copied these formulas from a word html file and pasted them in macromedia
dreamweaver MX to upload onto the web page.
Everything looks good expect for where there are subscripts and superscripts.
That is where the spacing between the lines gets crowed and reading beomes
difficult.

How can I control the spacing between lines in a text document?
Is there a better fix?

Thx.

use the line-height property to space the lines out.

p{
line-height: 140%;
}

That should give you plenty of room.

<style type="text/css">
p{
line-height:140%;
}

sup{
vertical-align: 3px;
}

sub{
vertical-align: -1px;
}
</style>

works fine in ff, but not IE, you could possibly hack it with a little
effort. Maybe using a span or similar, might be to much to bother with
if you have a lot of them on the page.

Forgive me but I am quite new to dreamweaver.

Is this correct?

I highlight the "crowed" lines in design mode,
I hit quick tag editor
I type: <style type="text/css"> p{line-height:140%;} </style>
i know I am doing something wrong because i get an error about invalid HTML

Thanks for the prompt response. most apprecieted.

To be a bit more precise just in case you don't understand Jojos'
explanation of where to paste it,
it gets pasted just before the closing head tag </head>
