Use SHIFT + Enter for single line return.

This is how HTML works. When you press return, you begin a new HTML
paragraph. If you look at the code, you will see this -

<p>here is the previous paragraph</p>
<p>here is what you get when you hit return</p>

and what you are seeing is the margin between those two adjacent paragraphs.
The very best way to change that would be with CSS, by redefining the margin
at the top and bottom of the p tag, which you can do easily in FP. If you
made that value zero, then there would be NO gap between the two adjacent
paragraphs. Adjust this value to suit your needs. By doing it this way,
the text between the p tag open and close would reflow normally as the page
is made narrow or wider, which is a good thing.

Alternatively, you could press shift-enter to insert a hard line break,
instead of enter (which inserts a paragraph). The hard line break does not
have margins, and so this will make your lines of text look just the same as
they would if you had changed to zero paragraph margins. BUT, the text
before and after the hard line break will not reflow as you make the browser
window narrower or wider. This can be a bad thing, because it can make your
text look kind of funny at some width settings.

Which you use is up to you....

Hold down the Shift key and then press Enter (or Return)

In html that's called a line-break (the <br> tag). It is the default action
to create new paragraph in Frontpage (the <p> tag in code).

Use Shift-Enter to make the line break.
