When I insert Plain Text on top of a solid box, the text will run together when I try to preview the site. In the WE design the text is spaced as I want it. Am I missing something as far as spcing with plain text? Thanks for any help

If you are talking about a word.......space.....word then no that won't work. Change it rich text and you can do it.

Try spreading out the Text area, make it larger then necessary

Is the text you are talking about all inside one text block? Or do you have seperate blocks? Confused, shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks. It is all inside of one text block. I was trying to insert blank space between phone numbers and the blank space is eliminated when I preview it.

Thanks. I was hoping I could do it with plain text because it looks 'cleaner' and less jagged when you view it than the rich text does.
That brings up another question ........Is it just me or is plain text less jagged and cleaner than rich text when viewed?

The Plain and the Rich Text should look the same unless something is making it distorted, trial and error

I would tend to agree that plain text generally looks cleaner/crisper.

There is a visual difference while being created inside WE but to me it looks fine when final published/uploaded.
