Can't get padding write on mce-group

Our website was created by a vendor and we are now responsible for fixing the things they didn’t. I am not skilled in WordPress at all – I am familiar with CSS – but still can’t quite get how all that fits in with WP… anyway – on our “sign up for” side bar (widget), we have a listing of options that members can sign up for (specials, newsletter, alerts, etc.).

At first, the listing had a checkbox but was crunched together with the text which the vendor set up as a bullet list (we have a customized bullet image we use – they told us you can have only one kind of bullet style). So that looked terrible. Now that I have removed the bullet list setting, it looks better in the visual editor, but once i view it on the screen within the actual website, the checkboxes are now above the line of text. I can’t give you a link because the area of the site in which this exists is a “members only” requiring user ID and password. I don’t see a way to add a screen capture here.

anyway, here’s what the code looks ilke for that area. Maybe you can take a look at it and see if you notice anything untoward?

I would like to receive… <input id=”mce-group[29]-29-0″ name=”group[29][1]” type=”checkbox” value=”1″ /><label for=”mce-group[29]-29-0″> Logged In Alerts</label>

BTW.. I have searched the forum for previous posts on this issue and did find them, but they only have the question and no resolution.

Thanks.
