Hi, Ian - only a few people have fixit buttons. Max had the misconception that I could be trusted, so he gave me a button so I could fix things for people, so I do. Whether I can be trusted is quite another question. I don't know who else has fixit buttons - they're much sneakier about it than I am (or, should I say they're "more discreet"?).
I type lyrics in a word processor, and then use the "replace" function to search for paragraph marks. I replace the paragraph marks with a new paragraph mark and <br>. Your asterisk idea should also work.
I have a problem with the "replace" function with lyrics I've copied off the Web, since they don't have Microsoft Word paragraph marks. When I display the hidden characters in the text, there's a fancy-looking ¶ symbol for the paragraph marks, but I can't figure out how to search for that in Word. Can anybody tell me?
