You just think, they're the same size. Assuming you have not set an output style and are using HTML, that is a quirk with the way HTML renders (multiple spaces are truncated/displayed to one). You have to specify spaces to print as

Charles, please elaborate on your "Double Space" requirement. Does "how I can Add a space inbetween every line" mean you want a blank line after each report line? Also, for which format - PDF or HTML? This all matters because there are different ways to accomplish what you need.

To have a blank line after each report line, add a SUBFOOT to the last BY statement, something like this:

DEFINE FILE CAR
DUMMY1/A1 = '';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL SUBFOOT
" "

ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, SQUEEZE=ON,
FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=8,
BORDER=1, BORDER-COLOR=SILVER,
$
ENDSTYLE
END


By the way, this really has nothing to do with  . If you need to embed a "Non-Breaking Space" in an HTML file, use 
 
If the HTML is contained in a fex, use 
&|nbsp;
to avoid the Dialogue Manager behaviour - the concatenate character prevents DM from assuming it's an amper variable.

When I refer to Double Space, yes, I am talking about a blank line inbetween every line.

I am trying to make this work in HTML

Yes the &|nbsp; works well!

Thank you so much for your help and understanding! I have one final question.


Is there anyway to squeeze the lines together so there is no space or blank line inbetween lines?

What version of 7.6 are you on ?

Here is one option: Controlling vertical line spacing in PDF and HTML formats

In the later versions, 7.6.9 I think, there is an option to set the line spacing.
Support for Markup Tags and Line Spacing Attributes in Text Boxes

get the non breaking space & nbsp; into the html code the escape character that is &|nbsp;"

if you are doing HTML You can also define a A4 field and mention it in the HEADING

BR/A4 = '< br > ';

You must definitely follow Waz's links Lots of good stuff.
