Text Spacing Issue

In dreamweaver I can't get the spacing between the lines of text to be 1 space not double spaced... any help appreciated.

If you're writing text into the design view, try Shift-Enter.

When you hit the enter key, you get a paragraph.
Normally you keep on typing until the text fills the container and then
press enter to start a new paragraph.
Yes, the easiest way to get single line is by pressing shift+enter giving
you a <br> tag, but it is not recommended
as it can cause problems. you can use css to redefine the margin of a
paragraph eg:

p {margin:4px}

Hmm, makes sense regarding some other text formatting issues I'm having. I
know that the HTML formating tags have been deprecated. Does this mean then
that I shouldn't be using the <p and <br tag pairs?

No, you should use the <p> tag :-)
<font> tags amongst others should not be used. Also Heights (for tables and
cells) should not be used.

Start using stylesheets. For a introductory tutorial look here:
http://www.make4css.com

if you don't like the size of the space for a paragraph you can redefine the
margin for it. A <p> tag is automatically given a top and bottom margin, so
you can minimise this by using css. eg: p {margin: 5px} as I explained
in my previous post.
