font size & spacing issues in newsletter
Options
I consistently have font size and spacing issues when doing our e-newsletters. I go through the coding and it says I’m at 15px but it never looks that way. I have spaces built in, but they don’t show. A style sheet was not built into our stationary so I'm wondering if that may be the issue. Our success manager is out of communication so I'm at a loss on what to do to fix . this issue. Has anyone had success in having consistent font sizes and spacing in their newsletters/emails in luminate.
Attached is a screen shot that you'll see the top article is different font & spacing than bottom.

Tough to say without seeing you code. Can you click the "use plain text editor" link and give us the raw code?

It seems that all of my font-size are at 15px but they're not showing that way...

Hey Anne,
Thanks for posting the code.
I hope you don't mind, but I mocked it up.... a lot.... :-)
I would recommend resizing eat_fresh_broccoli_cutting.jpg and little_girl_decorating_christmas_tree__pexels-701025_.jpeg. They are full size images and will take a long time to load on a wireless network. Size them down to like 580px wide.
This will get you close. I have other ideas for this for sure, but I am sure this is time-sensitive. (responsive images, no paragraph tags)
