I'd open the MS Word file I made my quick-and-dirty web
page from, change the paqragraph spacing on the text and
save it out as a new html file. Depending on my mood at
the time, I might tell my nit-picky "friend" that it required the
more work-intensive of your two fixes and that the revision
was going to cost someone a $50 steak dinner somewhere.
