I am creating a webpage (first time) and i'm following as much of the CSS rules and tags as I can. However, I ran into a problem with white space. I've underlined the first line of text but now the second line seems to have drifted below. Is there a way to make it a bit more snug, i'd like the second line of text to be just below the above line.

body,td,th {
    color: #000000;
}

body { 
 margin: 0; 
 padding: 0; 
 padding-top: 6px;
 text-align: center;
 background-color: #FFFFFF; 
} 
#centered
{ 
 width: 800px; /* set to desired width in px or percent */
 text-align: left; /* optionally you could use "justified" */
 border: 0px; /* Changing this value will add lines around the centered area */
 padding: 0;  
 margin: 0 auto; 
} 
.style3 {
    font-size: 32pt;
    color: #666666;
    margin-left: 0px;   
    border-bottom: 3px double;
}
.style5 {
    margin-left: 390px;
    font-size: 32pt;
    color: #CCCCCC;

}
-->

</style></head>

<div id="centered">


<body>
<p class="style3">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FIRST LINE OF TEXT</p>
<p class="style5">INDENTED SECOND LINE</p>
</body>
</div>
</body>
</html>
