I think I was missed being on a different time zone I placed this late yesterday but haven’t received an answer? Maybe it works ok in other peoples IE?
Try modifying your H2 style in the Styles palette. At the moment, you
are relying on the browser stylesheet for the all-important margin,
and that means that individual browsers can make up their own mind
what that means. Use pixels to specify a “Space Before” (margin-top as
written in the Freeway interface) and “Space After” (margin-bottom,
Ibid). When you click into those fields, they will likely say Default,
but change them to 12px or something like that, and see how it looks
then.

Sadly, while the code that Freeway writes is standard and valid, quite
a few of the interface controls are labeled in “Designer-friendly”
language. F.e.: “Leading” in Freeway-speak equals line-height in
published CSS. When I wrote “margin-top as written in the Freeway
interface” what I was trying to express was that margin-top is the
correct name of the CSS code (if you’ve been studying that or
absorbing tips and hints from the broader Web) while within Freeway,
it’s referred to as Space Before, in a throwback to the nomenclature
of print typography.
Anyway, try adding a deliberate Space Before (margin-top) to your P tag.

I found “Space Before" and “Space After’ (in the Para styles) and

I cant find “margin-top as written in the Freeway interface”
The only other element in play here then would be the HR (horizontal
rule). Try adding a style to your Styles palette with the Tag set to
‘hr’ (without the quotes) and the Name field empty. To get an empty
Name field, you will need to click into the Name field, delete
whatever helpful name Freeway entered there, tab back out, and
immediately save the style. Add a pixel-based Space Before and After
to this style, and don’t worry about applying the style to anything.
Because it is a tag-only style, Freeway will publish it into your page
or style sheet without any further prodding, and because of the way
that CSS works, any hr element in the page will take on whatever
settings you add to it…

Thanks no probs understood.
I did add a space before (12px) - nothing changed?

I do have an HR that I created in the styles (though again this looks different in IE looks great in other browsers!) - Ill try adding a space after and before.
I just lost the use of my PC so will do this a little later - I think this could work though
