Harold, this list is in plain text only, so fonts are not going to matter. Most of this post looked ok except for the part I left in your email below.
MSword??? Geeeze, what on Earth are you doing?? See my last post on how to reply to posts. In addition to what I said in it, like I said above, regardless of what you do to posts font or style wise, it's not going to matter because this list converts all email formatting to default plain text. You can't copy 'n paste ANYTHING from ANYWHERE (other than a Notepad type program) because everywhere else has formatting. Even in plain text mode emails, OE on XP is stupid and WILL show HTML formatting even in plain text posts WHILE you are composing! Don't ask me why. Word, WordPad, MSword, etc, all have certain kinds "formatting" so you cannot take something from them and paste it into a plain text email in OE on XP and expect it to look anything like the original after it's posted. I've also mentioned to you before to X out of the email so it goes in your Drafts, then just LOOK at it and then you'll see how it's going to look. Then you can open it from the Drafts and re-do the text in it. Or, toggle between plain text and rich text, then back to plain text again in the email to remove all formatting. Of course if your replying to all posts IN HTML format, and sending them **IN** HTML format, that's another story....just don't do that. Or, best yet, like I alluded to in my other email, just "Reply" to the post and let 'er rip! -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harold B." Hello again (double spaces; it this only happening with me?), I hope I'm not wrong in this. I think I finally found out how to avoid that double spacing in postings. I know the last posting (notepads) has those ugly double spaces. I'm sending this just to see if the font, "Arial Unicode MS" is better. I'm choosing that only because when copying from your postings onto MSWord, that is the resulting font. So it seems logical that the reply should be in the same font. Here's good luck to this repeat posting :-) Clint, the problem with Notepad+'s compatibility mode is that there is no line for Windows XP ... it only lists Win 95, 98, ME, NT, and 2000. If you know where to go from there, let me know. I've seen others too: 1st Page, ConText, DocPad, ShalomTxt, Win32pad, Xpad ... <http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/webpublish/fwtext.html> ... the list goes on and on and they're all good. I've had the Metapad exe file for a long time (in the flash drive storage box) and using Notepad+ for years - habit, habit, habit. Metapad looks good (considering that it seems Notepad+ is not for Win98); just tell me how to install it in XP ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
