Hello. I use a lot of stuff off the internet, and put it into Notepad (your
average standard old Windows notepad)
Well, sometimes there are these stupid little boxes, and I hate them because
they go where the line is SUPPOSE to wrap, but it doesn't after that. The
line just keeps going forever with those stupid boxes! Is there any way to
fix this annoyance?

This is because IE (or other program) is copying the text with ASCII10s for Newlines, when windows textboxes (which is what Notepad is made from) wants ASCII13+ASCII10 ... I usually find that using a better editor helps, or copying from the web page's source code since IE usually gets it right in there. -Martin |\/| _..__|_o._ /\_|_| o._ _ mart.atkins@-- | |(_|| |_|| | /--\|_|<|| |_> --bigfoot.com
