Hi Parrafo 175
Unfortunately my book is written using Pages, not Word or Open Office.

When you refer to style sheets is that the code within Sigil? Pages 09 doesn't have the option of margin-top .5em or s1 section of CSS that I can see and that is the program I used prior to converting to ePUB.

Toxaris I left an example of the html in a few posts up ....

If I had a better knowledge of html and CSS I'd probably be able to make sense of what you are all saying and trying so hard to help me with.

If one of you could give me an example of the html that I should be seeing when I want just one line space between paras in my ePUB document instead of 2 or 3, I think I could make those changes.

Thanks!

Yes. Open the Style sheet

If margin-top is not there it either means the originator expected the value to use was inherited or wanted to accept the reading system default

just add it (applies to any legal style setting.) Be aware, that your change may possibly be inherited by styles deeper in the document
(check for large (many paragraphs) blocks of nested div's. IMHO a ugly way to code.)
