Hmmm. I think I do exactly what Pete and Dick do, when I'm typing lyrics myself in MS Word. The problem arises when I'm editing lyrics other people typed up in other word processors (and maybe words typed directly into our "reply" box), which use ¶ for the line breaks. When somebody goofs up a song posted here, I'd like to "view source" and copy the lyrics and paste them into my MS Word, and then use "replace" to add the <br> line breaks. Then I'd copy from Word and paste back into Mudcat. Trouble is, most of the line breaks are those ¶ ones, so I end up manually pasting <br> into messages here, thousands of times. It does force me to read the lyrics for lots of songs, and that's a great fringe benefit. It's no big deal, because I like reading and fixing the threads, but it bugs me that this "replace" thing for the ¶ line breaks is one river I haven't been able to cross.
