Joe,

Thank you for untangling my song about Norway. I thought if I wrote in word 2001 then pasted it that it would just come out right. I was wrong. I will be trying to figure out html when I have a spare moment. I have none right now. Til then, thanks again.

Hi, Luke - If you type a document in Word and save it as HTML, you can do a "view source" on the HTML and come up with something that has all the HTML tags visible. When you paste it into a Mudcat reply box, the tags have to be visible (the tags are those things inside the angle brackets). You'll see that word adds lots of HTML that you don't need - all you need are the <br> line breaks. Therefore, you're better off using the "replace" function in the "edit" menu in Word. You'll se a button marked "more" and then "special" - search for paragraph marks and replace with a paragraph mark AND <br> - choose "replace all," and you'll have all the line breaks in an instant.
If that's too difficult to understand, you can type one line break, and then highlight and copy [CTRL-C] it; and then paste [CTRL-V] it wherever you like. "Replace all" is a slick trick that you'll find you use again and again, but the copy-paste technique ain't bad, either.
