I believe it's intentional since email can't maintain the style characteristics of Word documents. It may even happen automatically from hidden end-of-paragraph characters in Word. These end-of-paragraph characters in Word contain tons of info about style features - for Word - but to Entourage they probably just look like an extra carriage return. It is a bit odd that it should happen in HTML, I agree. You'd think HTML could maintain most of the style features, but probably the coding is so different it can't do it. You can't really expect Entourage to have a converter from Word. On the other hand, a colleague of mine on Windows can drag formatted text, including columns and tables to Eudora Windows HTML and I get it properly formatted when I receive it. maybe Entourage could learn to do it too. But that would be a big feature addition, not a simple bug fix. I'm sure I'll be corrected by someone from MS here if I'm wrong. (The surest way to get that, of course, would be for me _not_ to include this last comment, but I'm getting a bit tired of playing that trick. Dan, maybe you can comment here?) -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
