I would like to move the text to the right slight on the home page so that the words "twenty" and "forty" are not on a new line but on the same line as the current sentence.

Any help would be appreciated.

Number of methods.

Make the "page" wider.

Make the type smaller.

My favourite:
Don't worry about it. Say you manage to get type on one line, what happens if I enlarge my font 1 or 2 clicks?

CSS is not currently a typographically strong medium. It's getting better, there are selectors that willhelp with things like this. As yet, though, they are not widely supported.

Thanks for that, l will have to live with it , as neither method is not really suitable.

And primarily, don't put every word in a separate paragraph. If you just put all the text in one or two paragraphs, you should be ok. Do you really understand what paragraphs are?

Reduce the font of the whole sentence?

OK... how about you remove the words from their own <p> tag... at least then you have a chance of getting it to work.

You can't expect the kind of control you are talking about on the web... well... you can expect it... but you will be disappointed (especially when you view it on Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla or Safari and change the text size).

The only way to guarantee it will never "roll over" to the next line is to do all the text as an image [smile]

That's why we talk about "liquid designs" or "dynamic designs" - designs that gracefully handle user resizing of the browser and font size.

Cheers,
Jeff

If you really wanted to do it this would work:
Code: 
<html><body>
<pre style="font-family:arial; font-size:9px">
A friendly and welcoming social club based in Southampton, UK which welcomes anyone from the ages of twenty to forty.
The idea of the club came about as a way for people to participate in exciting activities and make new friends.
We meet every Thursday at Bar Risa in Above Bar Street, Southampton at around 8.30pm.
</pre>
</body></html>
