Subject: RE: Breaking the Line?
Jim,

Hank has given you the straight scoop. If you are doing lyrics, you might want to do them up on Windows' Notepad or some other word processor. Then you can cut and paste all those <br>'s off-line. You can do the same within the message blocks, but it takes up on-line time which is costly to some.

For most word processors, you just highlight what you want and then right-click your mouse and then left click on the word "copy" in the menu (list) that has appeared.

Then you can click your cursor on the spot you desire, right click your mouse, and then click on "paste" in the menu. The <br>'s will stay in your mouse until you "cut" or "copy" somethin' else, so you can just go through your song, left click, right click, and click on "paste" all the way through. I like to put two <br>'s at the end of verses, etc. to provide two (count 'em 2!) spaces.
