Problem with space between lines of text

[NJDevil]

How do I get separate lines of type (not a paragraph) single spaced? One way is to use <dd></dd> however this indents the text a few spaces, and messes up centering. My HTML book does not explain how to do this simple thing. Using <p> puts too much space in between the lines. And I do not want it to look like a list, either, with bullets or numbers.
Thank you....
