hi, I have never come across the need for this before, but i am doing a FAQ's
page and would like to create larger spaces between my lines of text, as in
liek in word u can have 1.5 lines, how do I fiddle with line spaces in
dreamweaver? not only for one large piece of text, but if I need to have two
different line heights in one paragraph (so that a long sentence going to the
next line is normal height, but the next list item is still more) thanks in
advance!!! :)

In the css for your paragraph, you can add:

line-height: 1.5em;

thanks for that

ok, so if I select the whole paragraph, then give it say style1.css, then the two lines I want normal space for I just give that line a different style.css yes?

not sure why you would want to do this and it's not really possible
since 1 line on my browser/settings might be 1.5 on yours.

should those lines that you want to style differently not be in a
different para/heading?
