Question

When I type text into the Text Editor box in the Discussion Board, it all comes out double-spaced. How do I make it single-spaced?

Answer

If you are typing directly into the Text Editor and press the <Enter> key on your keyboard at the end of the line, this will add an extra space between lines. If you do not want your document to be double-spaced:

  1. Let the text wrap naturally by typing continuously and not pressing <Enter> at the end of the line.
  2. When you do want a single-spaced line break, press <Shift><Enter>.
