Hi everybody.
I am brand new to Sigil and have no coding experience other than the bit I just looked at by going through the entire Sigil tutorial, so please speak to me as if I know nothing, which is right.

I took a Pages file on my Mac and exported it as an Epub. I then used this Epub to open in Sigil.

Problems
1) When I view the original Epub - from Pages - there are no spacing issues at all between paragraphs.

2)When I take that same Epub to be my starting file in Sigil, each paragraph seems to have 3 or 4 additional unnecessary spaces introduced.

3)I read through the Phyllis thread from last week, but was fairly lost. Is there some simple reason for all these extra spaces?

4)From what I can see Sigil has many more tools to make my Epubs look nice, but I need to get over this glaring formatting issue first.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
