How do I reduce space between text lines?

I'm a novice building my first website, using Adobe GoLive CS2. One simple problem (among many others!!) I'm having is reducing the amount of space between lines of block text.

For example, I have a table cell with a CSS padded box in it. In the box, I want 3 lines of text. However, after typing in a line of text and hitting Enter, it puts a lot of white space between the lines. I've gone into the CSS editor Font Properties and tried defining the text size as 20px and the line height as 20px, with no success. If I use the top menu bar to choose Type--Paragraph Format--None (which I think is HTML-level formatting versus CSS) then it removes all the extra space between lines, but it also removes my "new line" or carriage returns and puts all the text inline.

What do I need to do to resolve this?

You are making a new paragraph... Use instead to break your line... I think that'll work.

it's probably shift+enter, it is on dreamweaver anyway.
