I have tried using [DJW:] You should be using them for accessibility reasons (search engine indexing is only a minor part) and in my view, the only relevance of this to this list is that an answer may prevent the abandonment of correct markup in order to force the presentation. > stylesheets, but I am not yet adept at them. > > Please tell me how to use headers and remove the following space. > [DJW:] This is the suggested style sheet for some headings from the CSS2 specification (appendix A). H1 { font-size: 2em; margin: .67em 0 } H2 { font-size: 1.5em; margin: .83em 0 } H3 { font-size: 1.17em; margin: 1em 0 } Assuming that browsers behave somewhat like this, and that I correctly understand "space that follows", overriding the margin to 0 0 should cause the headings to be spaced the same as body text, and considerably less than the space between paragraphs. More interesting is the case of headings that are written inline. In principle display: run-in can be used on these, but I'd be surprised if NS4 got anywhere near this.
