If you add the HTML commands aftewards, you may find it easier. You might find using your borwser's "View Source" function is quite useful for picking up tips on HTML commands; new line, italics, bold etc. |

You can take care of the line breaks very simply: use a carriage return (Enter key) at the end of every line you type. Then use Replace All to change the paragraph signs (use ^p) to ^p followed by {BR}, only with angle brackets instead of curly brackets. Then cut and paste. |

You'd put the paragraph mark in both the find and replace boxes, with the addition of a line break <br> in the "replace with" box. It's easier to do than it is to explain, but I hope you understand.-Joe Offer- |

You can double-click on the document saved as HTML to make sure it will look OK. Then go to Notepad, Click on "File," then "Open." Go to the "files of type" box and select "All Files (*.*)" Find your file and copy and paste into the "Submit Message" box. |
