YOU ARE MY HERO. Thank you so much. The tip about changing the code was over my head, but the one about doing it manually worked.

I really appreciate your prompt and excellent help.

Regards,
PH

a) avoid using actual lists - just type the text as regular text and enter the bullets manually, or
b) modify the coding in the Text (=code) editor for each and every list you use, or
c) buy the Custom Design and correct the spacing once for all, or
d) switch to a different theme.

If you opt for b, you need to turn this:
<ul>
to this:
<ul style="line-height:1.5em;">
Change the number to adjust the spacing (1.5 is the theme's default for regular text).

I typed my latest post on Word (using 14 point type with 1 &1/2 line spacing throughout) and then pasted it (using the little "W" box) onto my wordpress blog.

But as you see, the bullets are so cramped, they are difficult to read.

I can't make spaces between the lines of the bullets! Here is the permalink: http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/james-madison-rebukes-nullification-deniers/

See? It looks awful and is hard to read.
