Thread Name: TECH: How to? (create line breaks)
Subject: RE: How to?
Alas, alas, I can post no more if I have to learn all of this magic.

I have both WP 7 and MS Front Page 97, which free me from the necessity of coding HTML as they will create the document in that format upon my asking them to do so. No fun, I admit, but I just want to do the document not become a programer. I'm spread thin enough as it is.

Is there anyway I can make the HTML document in one of these software packages, and paste or insert that file in HTML format into the little message box? Surely merely cut/copy and paste won't work, since cut/copy and paste off the screen works in ASCII. When I highlight and copy info off a web page I can paste it into a WP screen and no HTML tags (I think that's what you call them) show up.

What I can't figure out is how by putting the commands into the message box it converts it into HTML in the manner that I command. I thought that the message box was ASCII and the Great Mighty Mainframe at Mudcat put it into HTML to show up on the web page in the manner in which it saw fit.
