formatting text - spacing for paragraphs?
I'm having a tough time finding a way to format the text of my wiki. I can change fonts and text size. However, I'm having two issues that have been driving me crazy:
1) When I change text size, color, etc., it doesn't always work. Sometimes, the text is magically resistant to whatever I want to change, and I have to leave it looking funky. This is okay temporarily, but in the long run, I really need to be able to format my text.
2) Usually, when I copy and paste text from Microsoft word, the double spacing stays in tact, and I have an easy-to-read format on the Wiki. However, every so often, the text will copy and paste in tiny, single-spaced lines, very unfriendly for reading. I can't figure out, however, how to format text into double-spaced lines. Am I missed an option, or does it not exist?
I have over 80 pages of text that I'm trying to copy and paste -- so not having this option is quite a problem for me, as I don't want to re-type everything.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Inappropriate?Formating text in PBwiki an be tricky and sometimes frustrating.
We've worked hard to correct these common editing problems for PBwiki 2.0 (coming out this quarter). The new editor will have better bullet points and numbering, easier spacing and line formatting and more.
In the meantime I suggest that when you cut and paste from word, that you first paste your text into Notepad. This removes the Microsoft word formatting and html that interferes with Pbwiki's current editor.
I am not aware of double spacing on PBwiki's current editor.

Inappropriate?Thanks for the tip! I'll try it and will look forward to the updates later this year. -
Inappropriate?It is possible to add double spacing. As Krissy mentioned, editing with out Point & Click editor isn't always easy, but we are working on some improvements.
Here's what I do for double spacing after an image or the end of a section or paragraph.
At the end of the section, I press enter once, and then hit the space key once. Repeat this one more time.
Save the page.
If you see three lines now, just edit and go to the extra line. Hit backspace twice to remove it.
Save again.
I’m hoping this helps
