Slowly I am achieving a reasonable control;of the styles as I work in Freeway pro with imac and Leopard. I do understand the use of space before and after in the html box (and indents too).
Temporary styles seem to creep in whenever I paste text. I assume that ths is perfectly normal behaviour
However, what is really puzzling me is how I can control the spaces on the page between a graphic and a html box. What looks good in the edit mode often results with the image and text overlapped in preview. Sometimes there is excessive space between the two.
I have played around a bit with padding the graphic to help placement.
Some help would be very welcome
Are you trying to achieve a text wrap around the graphic? If so, try putting an inline html box inside your text box, then put your graphic object inside the inline html box. Now put a margin on the inline html box the distance you want the text to be separated.

Only if you paste directly, including any styles the text may have in
it. If you use the option in the ‘Edit’ menu to paste without styles,
no temp. style will be made. That’s the best way to go anyway, as you
don’t want any word-processor formatting carrying over into you
Freeway document.

The trick is to make sure that the graphic is an inline element;
paste the graphic into the box of text and then, when the text size
varies (as it will) the picture will move with it. You can adjust the
placement of the picture by dragging it within the text, and adding
some Margin around the picture.
Hi Brian
I haven’t evolved into a CSS layout (layered items) workflow as yet - as
table layouts just work and are simple and well I don’t feel that attracted.
But if you paste special from Edit menu and select unstyled (or is it called
plain) you will avoid adding new styles. It will (usually) also pick up the
existing style in th erun of text - if any.
Its a bit crappy to be hidden behind menus and mouse clicks but I use it a
lot to avoid collecting errant styles.
hope this helps
regards
Brian
