I'm having trouble copying and pasting into my mesages. I have all the settings right. such as fixed width font, but when I paste it into the letter it loses all the spaces what's wrong? Billy
Sounds like you are posting it into html format. Html only allows one space between words usually, and requires a special tag to put additional spaces. Try replacing the spaces with the '_' character, or set your emailer to plain text instead of html. If you can't do that, try replacing the spaces with '& nbsp;' (Remove the space between the '&' and the 'nbsp;' I just put the space there so my emailer wouldn't think I wanted an extra space... Confused yet? :) Eileen Barnes wrote in message <34F...@actlegalservices.com>... >I'm having trouble copying and pasting into my mesages.

The problem is you forgot to mention what platform you're on, what software applications you are copying and pasting between, etcetera. I'm only now just beginning to bone up on my telepathy.
