Hi, Please see the snippet where the line spacing in the lower paragraphs on the page are placed. Attached is a snippet and also attached RSD file. I don't seem to be able to find the error to correct these to spacings Between "colour" and the heading Go-green Eco and then the next line down starting with "an alternative"
Also is there anywhere I can read-up or see some form of tutorial on this subject. Thanks Terry

In those paragraphs, the blue text has a class, its line spacing is 1.2. The blue text that is of concern has a different class (according to RSD), and a line spacing of 1.73. This can be seen when you edit the entire paragraphs text, then highlight the blue text. reclassing that blue text to the class you already created, "Blue_Bold" appears to fix the problem.

It appears in the HTML codes that there was an error with RSD. That text in question is spanned as class "paragraph-text-21," as that is all that appears in RSD, which actually, both classes are effecting it, even though only one class is listed. If you look at the source code, you will see that text wrapped in the parapgraph-text-21 class is also wrapped in a spanned "Blue-Bold" class. This means when you were making changes to Blue-Bold, it was changing that text as well, but only the conflicting properties of that paragraph-text-21 class superseded the Blue_Blod properties. As some point you have it a line spacing of 1.73 - and that always overwrote whatever Blue_Bold gave it. I think something like this happened before with another file. I believe the class is created, and the text is deleted, but the paragraph break is not - or something to that effect so that RSD is not deleting the spanned class. Even when changing the paragraph text to Blue_Bold, the text still remains wrapped in two spans classes of Blue_Bold.

For something like this, I think you will be better off creating separate paragraphs. That highlighted text will probably be better served as h2/h3 heading for SEO, and will be easier to control, and put paragraphs under them, instead of trying to include 4 different sections into one overall paragraph.

Thanks for your reply. I will remake that section with 4 paragraphs as suggest. How do you get to format using the Hx elements. I understand what they are and they are good for SEO. But where do I find or click to get up the headings as just using the font size?

In the Elements panel in the upper left there is a Heading drop down. Just pick the heading level you need, then go to the Design panel and style it from there.

Got that. Thank you. However Heading 6 is too big. Can I make a Heading 7 (a bit smaller). And/or can I change the heading sizes as can be done writing in html?

Sorry again, pressed the wrong button before finishing

there is no such thing as h7...................... only h1- h6

Was also going to say that really I wouldn't over worry about SEO and headings, according to John Meuller, from Google there is a ‘slight boost‘ to using them.

"The six heading elements, H1 through H6, denote section headings. Although the order and occurrence of headings is not constrained by the HTML DTD, documents should not skip levels (for example, from H1 to H3), as converting such documents to other representations is often problematic." W3C

Many studies have been made to find the definitive proof that says you need to use Heading Tags (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6) or that they improve rankings in Google...... with mixed results, which which I interpret as it isn't really too important ( if the boffins can't yet agree can't be important then), and I have many pages that do well in Google (and other lesser Search Engine beings) without them

I still generally only use one <h1> heading tag in keyword targeted pages – Which I believe is the way the W3C intended it be used – and I try to ensure it appears at the top of a page.

I have never experienced any problems using CSS to control the appearance of the H tags making them larger or smaller.

Don't be tempted to use a H1 heading more than once on one page (h2 - h6 no problem)

Alan Wall of SEObook Qoutes
"Each piece of duplication in your on-page SEO strategy is ***at best*** ä wasted opportunity. Worse yet, if you are aggressive with aligning your on page heading, your page title, and your internal + external link anchor text the page becomes more likely to get filtered out of the search results (which is quite common in some aggressive spaces).
Be sure to make your heading tags highly relevant to the content on that page and not too spammy, either.
Concentrate on making page text rich and engaging, first.

Bottom line
Use one < h1> tag on your page then make the headers for your paragraphs <h2> tags and re-size them to whatever you like
No need worry about SEO for those <h2> titles go ahead and change the size of the font, there are other factors that effect SEO results more than worrying about the size of a header.

The default heading sizes are just defaults. Make them whatever you want them to like whatever you want. But as pointed out, page structure is important. A heading font might need to be made smaller than a lesser heading. Think of it this way, you want your page to be understandable by someone who is blind using a screen reader.
