Is there any way in the Rich Text Editor (RTE) to control the amount of space between lines when you hit return? For expample, when I type an address in the RTE and hit return I would like the lines to appear closer together in the front end to where it looks like an address and not just a bunch of lines. Also to help instructions such as Click Here to go with the line above so the visitor has a better idea of what they will get when they click.
Thanks for your help.

John,
1. Press "Shift"+"Return" to go to a new line. HTML: <br> </br>
2. When you set a link in the RTE, fill in the field "Opens internal link in new window" with the text you want.

Thanks Hans it worked. It isn't quite as tight as I would like it on the Front End. but it is much better than it was. I was reading in one of the tutorials about numbering and it used the same combination to stop numbering and put the next lines in a new paragraph. At that point I wondered if that might be something to try with my problem.

John,
If you really want to change the space between the lines, you have to change your CSS.
Somewhere in "mainstyles.css" it writes (f.e. for this forum):
body {
color: #555555;
font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: normal;
height: 100%;
line-height: 1.6em;
min-width: 1220px;
text-align: center;
}
Here (forum) "line-height" is set to "line-height: 1.6em;"
By changing 1.6em (f.e. to 1.0em or 100% or 125%) you will change the white-space between the lines. Heights will change through the whole site!
A very nice tool(in Firefox) to play around with these, a.o CSS settings is the Firebug add-on.
Install it and you can see the effect of any changes in your CSS immediately.
Any changes you will write in the appropriate CSS of your skin.
