Hello to all, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, and need some expert advise. I am in the process of transfering some text for an eLearning course into a course creator called UDUTU. The course was written using Microsoft Word. All I am doing is copy/paste from the Word doc into the course creator. What the course creator does is strip the formatting from the Word doc before it will paste it. We are using Arial front, 12pt and 1.5 spacing throughout the course. Once I paste the text and preview it, at times it will not recognize the spacing of font size. Most of the time it does, but at times it will be 10pt or use 1 as the spacing. I have the ability in the course creator to edit the HTML once I have pasted it. Most of the time, if I change the 'line height' to 200%, it will correct my spacing issues. Take a look at this coding and see what I mean. From there, can somebody tell me what the hell I am looking at and what to fix so that I can always get 12pt Arial with 1.5 spacing? <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%" class=Style22><b><font color=#000000><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">Offences under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974</span> </font></b></p> <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"><span style="FONT: 12pt 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; COLOR: windowtext">As a manager, you have a legal requirement under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 to manage foreseeable health and safety risks.

However, if the magistrates feel that the offence is serious enough to exceed their sentencing powers, they can send it to the Crown Court for trial by jury and sentencing (Indictment). It has to be noted that the accused always has the right to opt for Crown Court trial. </span></p> <p style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 200%; LAYOUT-GRID-MODE: line; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></span></p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial', 'sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><font color=#000000 size=3>The Health and Safety Offences Act 2008, which came into force on 16 January 2009, amended the penalty schedule of the Health and Safety at Work Act so that fewer offences will be summary only and more will carry maximum sentences of imprisonment or £20,000 fines.</font></span> I have also attached a copy of how this HTML turns out..... Thanks for the help! I need it..... -Dave
Dave where is the html code being generated from? the UDUTU? i.e. are you just pasting in standard text or are you pasting in the html as well? do you have the ability to implement any CSS?
Hello, Thanks for the hand..... I am just copying from a Word doc. I then paste it into UDUTU. I have the abilty from there to open up the HTML of the pasted text and that is what I see. I don't copy/paste the HTML, UDUTU generates it from what I have pasted. As far as CSS....I am not sure. Any ideas???? Many thanks, Dave
u should be able to just use the style tag like this <p style="font-family:arial; color:black; font-size:20px; line-height: 200%"> Your 1st paragraph text goes here </p> <p style="font-family:arial; color:black; font-size:20px; line-height: 200%"> a new paragraph goes here </p>
Hello, Does 200% mean double space? I need 1.5 spacing between lines. Sorry for the amateur questions.... What size would the 20px be? Many thanks, Dave
you can set line height as line-height: 1.5em i.e. <p style="font-family:arial; color:black; font-size:20px; line-height: 1.5em"> this should be equivalent of 150% with the font set as font-size:12pt so final result should be <p style="font-family:arial; color:black; font-size:12pt; line-height: 1.5em"> Your 1st paragraph text goes here </p>
