Adobe Contribute Tips

#1: To create a line break without a line space, hold the shift key as you tap the "Enter" key.

Contribute indent button

#2: Need to indent a single line, or one or more paragraphs, of text? Use the indent button (see image) NOT the space bar. Why? Because using the spacebar will result in a string of non-breaking spaces that could size differently on different browsers, resulting in a ragged left margin, or create awkward and unnatural sentence wrapping.

Detailed information about using Contribute is also available on this site.
