: Why is Photoshop CS5 making huge gaps between lines when I make a line break with the ENTER key? I'm not sure why, but suddenly when I use the type tool, write, and press ENTER to create

Look at this link and find the part about Space After, It is under "The Paragraph Spacing Options"

Perhaps it is this setting that is giving you a problem? Indesign often does this to my text

It's something to do with Layer -> Type -> Convert to point / Convert to paragraph. I changed to 'paragraph' to try and make the text behave like a standard Indesign box, but I had this same problem.

It turns out, if you just use spaces to push text to the next line rather than line-breaks you can achieve the same thing. Works better for me now.

check after paragraph spacing in paragraph setting tools

Also you might just be using "HARD returns" this is a press of the enter button alone. This will force your lines to have spaces between even if they're meant to be the same paragraph.

You may want to hold shift and press enter, this will give a "SOFT return", positioning text nicely below the previous line.

Are you sure your line spacing is in Auto or a similar number to that of the font size?
