Hi.

I have the following code for a headline on one of my WordPress pages:

<p align="center" style="margin-top:0pt;text-align:center">
<span style="font-size:32.0pt;font-family:Impact,sans-serif;color:#CC0000">
"Transform Your Business Into the Well-Oiled, Turbo-Charged, Profit-Making Machine You Desire"</span></p>

There's a large space appearing above the headline. Can you tell me what to change to remove the extra space?

Thanks,
-Robert

    If you're using wordpress then you must also have an external stylesheet present. The large space may be coming from a specific style from the stylesheet.

    You can try setting padding to zero as well.

    Code:
    <p align="center" style="margin-top:0pt;text-align:center;padding-top:0;">
    If that doesn't work try adding !important:

    Code:
    <p align="center" style="margin-top:0 !important;text-align:center;padding-top:0 !important;">

      Unfortunately, neither of those changes did it. If I remove the top line completely, the text is no longer centered, but the space remains. I created a new wordpress page. The only code entered at all is:

      <span style="font-size:32pt;font-family:Impact,sans-serif;color:#CC0000">
      "Transform Your Business Into the Well-Oiled, Turbo-Charged, Profit-Making Machine You Desire"</span></p>

      Is there something else I can try to enter on this pages to override whatever might be in the external style sheet? I don't know anything about HTML and I don't want to risk messing with the file and changing things elsewhere on the site.

    I take it if you just type the words without the formatting that there is no space?

    Try losing the span and try this instead:

    <font size ="32" face ="Impact" color="#CC0000">"Transform Your Business Into the Well-Oiled, Turbo-Charged, Profit-Making Machine You Desire"</font>
