Hi. When I am composing a message with 'Rich Formatting' turned on,
and I want to begin a new line and press Enter, it automatically skips
a line, so the next line I type has a gap between it and the previous
line, so if I want to list items, it looks like this:
item 1
item 2
item 3
when I want it to look like this:
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
This is possible when you disable Rich Formatting and enable Plain
Text, but then you don't have any formatting options at all.
My question: Is there a way to stop it skipping a line when I press
Enter while composing a message, while still having Rich Formatting
enabled?

The only icons viewable in my formatting toolbar are the Bold,
Italics, Underline, Font....etc. icons. There is no 'paragraph'
option. Unless it is somewhere else and I have it turned on? Where is
it located?

don't think you can turn Left, Right, and Centre Align all off, you
have to have at least one selected. I have Left selected. Even if I
switch to Right or Centre, it still skips a line when I press Enter. I
know that other Gmail users have Rich Formatting turned on but do not
have this skipping problem, so I'm not sure why I do. I looked through
all the Settings and Options and there doesn't seem to be anything
that applies, so I am beginning to think that it is not a setting or
feature that I have enabled/disabled, but a bug.
Some people respond without even trying it on there end. I have
encountered this problem and while I don't know why it happens, I
found that highlighting the text and clicking the "remove formatting"
icon fixes the problem. I wish I knew how to change the line spacing
sine I need this function from time to time.
I suspect this happens after cut & paste from html formatted text.

thanks a million mrtim!
highlighting the text and clicking the 'romove formatting' worked
perfectly.
my friends also say this problem occurs from time to time but usually
resolves itself.
some of my e-mails had cut-and-paste html text, but I'm also sure that
others didn't, so I think that the cause is still a mystery, but now
you have given me solution.
Thanks again!

Yes, Mr Tim's approach can work well.
Yet, if you still want to save the formatting
there is another option.
Hold "Shift" and then hit "Enter" for the
new line and the next line will come in
right below the one you left.
