 * I’m trying to double space between lines and no matter what I do it does not 
   seem to work. Even when I try to enter code in html editor and I click on visual
   editor or check page, it does not seem to keep the changes made.
 * Ugh…all I want to do is double space. Am I missing something? (I’m new at this
   and don’t know code at all)
 * Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

 * shift+enter to start a new line directly next.
    enter to start a new paragraph
   for one space between.
 * Double spacing: extra and <p> get cleaned up.
 * Tiny MCE Advanced has a checkbox to stop removing extra p and br to keep your
   spacing. But sometimes for me (i think just in tables) it ends up continually
   adding more and more spacing on each save. I have to wait until my final revision
   to clean up the extra spaces and hit save.

 * I feel you. WYSIWYG is a sure mess when it comes to spacing. Sometimes having
   to hit backspace on invisible breaks that does nothing visually but cleans up
   space. And sometimes having to go into HTML mode to bring something back to the
   previous line because hitting DEL or BACKSPACE never moves it.

 * Thanks, but Tiny MCE Advance says it’s not compatible w/WP 3.0. I’ve tried <p
   > and it doesn’t work. I’ve even deleted the entire page and started over and
   it doesn’t work. Grrrr….any other suggestions?
