I'm trying to use Word Press to create a chapter website and I expected it to act similar to Word. The Tab key does not function and i can find no way for spacing–it seems to be double spaced and I would prefer it to be single spaced. Is there something I'm missing?

Well – the problem is that WordPress will NOT act like Word. It is all HTML based and works a lot different than word.

Live Writer does work a *little* more like word, then it translates when it uploads to your WordPress site.

To make a page with LiveWriter, if you click the arrow next to 'New Post' you should see the option to create a 'New Page'

Whether your published page looks single spaced, or double spaced will depend on the 'Theme' that your WordPress site is using. Try picking a couple different themes and look at the difference.

I was using LiveWriter to write posts and then transfering them over to Blogger. For the last few months, when I go to LiveWriter.com, all I get is "Web Site under construction." What am I doing wrong?

Live Writer is a product on Microsoft Live's website. The address is http://explore.live.com/window…..ive-writer

LiveWriter.com has no relationship.

When you create a post with Live Writer – you need to have your blogger account set up in the Live Writer's settings. Then, when you click 'Publish' Live Writer takes care of uploading it to your Blogger.com account. It is a middle man.
