There seems to be a lot of vertical space between the lines of text of the page.
Much more than when the page is seen with Netscape 4.7 or MS Explorer.

It appears to me that this bug may be related/identical to 112796 "Vertical
spacing is exaggerated".

Sample source code of the page:
=================================
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<html version="-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<head>
<title>The Autodesk File</title>
<base target="text">
<meta name="author" content="John Walker">
<style type="text/css">
<!--
    p {
            margin-top: 0ex;
            text-indent: -1em;
            margin-left: 1em
      }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<p><h2><a HREF="tableofcontents2_117.html">Contents</a></h2>
<p><a href="welcome.html"> Title</a>
<p><a href="chapter2_1.html"> Introduction</a>
<p><a href="chapter2_2.html"> Working Paper</a>
<p><a href="chapter2_3.html"> Information Letter 1</a>
<p><a href="chapter2_4.html"> Information Letter 2</a>
<p><a href="chapter2_5.html"> What to Name the Company</a>
<p><a HREF="tex2htmlindex2_118.html">Index</a>
</body>
</html>



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the page or copy the sample source into a file and open it
2.
3.
It doesn't seem to me to much exagerated. There's always starting a whole new
paragraph for every link. Using <br> at the end of a line instead of <p> at the
beginning would give a better result I'd guess. The problem with bug 112796
seems to be the result of badly nested elements which isn't the case here.

This is basically a duplicate of part of bug 94007. Quote bug 94007 comment 1 :
"<p> has top _and_ bottom margins by default in Mozilla. You only reset the top
margin to 0....".
