simple frontpage question

[A.]

Dear clever folks;

I am writing text in a table. I write some words and then I want to go to
the next line and write there. But when I press return, the cursor jumps 2
lines, so that there is one empty line between what I wrote and the new
line.

Like this

here is the first line (- return-)

here is the next line---

I resolved it by hitting the space bar many times after the last word of the
first line in order to force the cursor to the next line, but I can't
believe it is the right way around it.

Can anybody help ?

I just tried the same thing, and got the same result.
I went to Format>Paragraph, and set the Line Spacing to Single, same thing.
Then I went to Spacing and set Before and after to "0"...That seemed to do
the trick.
Double spacing must me some default of sorts, because after I typed ) for
before and after, it said 100% in the Spacing window; an option that wasn't
there before.
Quirky little bugger....

Try shift return.

Thanks for those advices. They both work. I am a completely happy man now !

Very simple, actually. Just hit the shift key before hitting "Enter" and
the cursor will only move down one line instead of two.

You're welcome...
