Hi, I like to type my forum posts on MS Word for some basic grammar and spell checking. The problem occurs when I copy the text from MS Word and then paste the text into a text area box in my firefox web browser. I get double line feeds. Is there any way to get MS Word to stop copying these extra line feeds? For example, consider the following text: >>>>>>>>>>> When the truth gets far too deep, Past the thousand years asleep, Time demands I turn around, And once again the truth is found. By George Harrison <<<<<<<<<<< Now if I copy and paste the text into a text area box in firefox web browser I get: >>>>>>>>>>> When the truth gets far too deep, Past the thousand years asleep, Time demands I turn around, And once again the truth is found. By George Harrison <<<<<<<<<<< What I end up doing is copying from MS Word, pasting into TextPad editor, recopying the text from TextPad, then repaste into firefox web browser text area box. For some reason TextPad removes the extra line feeds. Is there any way to get MS Word to stop copying these extra line feeds so I can directly copy and paste from Word to firefox text are box? Thanks, Paul |

The reason this happens is that you're pressing Enter at the end of each line. When you paste into an HTML form, the paragraph break is interpreted as two line breaks. If you will instead press Shift+Enter to insert a line break where you don't need a paragraph break, you will get the results you want. -- Suzanne S.
