    Default Line of code for every couple of words?

    I am a new user of Web Designer 365 Premium. While creating my web site, I see that the program creates a line of code for every couple of words (text). Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Can I avoid this? Here is an example:

    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="top: -15.04px;">When &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 52.83px; top: -15.04px;">a &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 69.61px; top: -15.04px;">person &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 129.18px; top: -15.04px;">dies &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 167.85px; top: -15.04px;">leaving &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 229.38px; top: -15.04px;">a &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 245.61px; top: -15.04px;">Will, &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 286.19px; top: -15.04px;">the &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 318.32px; top: -15.04px;">legal &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 362.58px; top: -15.04px;">process &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 428.91px; top: -15.04px;">that &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 465.67px; top: -15.04px;">takes &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 513.03px; top: -15.04px;">place &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 562.12px; top: -15.04px;">is &nbsp;</span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="left: 581.44px; top: -15.04px;">called </span>
    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text Normal_16" style="top: 8.44px;">probate. &nbsp;</span>

    That code represents a single sentence of text. Thanks for any help you can give.

    It is normal.
    Xara asserts it achieves true WYSIWYG positioning.

    With the Select Tool, select the text (not the Text Tool) and then open Names and add HTMLBlockText.
    This will turn your sentence into a DIV block.

    The downside usually only occurs when zooming the browser when the glyphs don't quite fit into the DIV width and you get a word break you didn't expect.

    You would normally only get this type of code if you're using very narrow column text. Usually on a normal width column it would be more like:

    <span class="xr_tl xr_kern Normal_text" style="top: -13.89px;color:#000000;">When a person dies leaving a will the legal process that takes place is called probate</span>

    Thanks Egg, but the the text column is not narrow at all. The text I clipped the code from is nearly the width of the page.

    Can you attach that file Exeat? I'd be interested to see it.
