If  nothing  highlighted,  I  meant.  If  something is highlighted TB!
treats it as you wish to make one paragraph from what you selected.

You  will  have  to  move  cursor  into each paragraph and press Alt-L
individually.

I don't believe so. TB does not recognize any paragraphs when you try and
highlight 2 or 3 paragraphs, then hit Alt-L, regardless of whether there is
a line between the paragraphs or not, and this is true whether you are
creating a new message, or working with quoted material. TB simply clumps
them all together as the original poster noted, and it makes no difference
where the cursor is or at least I have found no difference.

It is something I have just got used to with TB, but it would be nice if
RITLabs could remedy this situation.

You can create a QuickTemplate which in turn calls a text file. When
you write your message, you can invoke that QT, which will put the
text file into your message.

Or your don't use a text file, and put the text of your sig into the
QT. You can have different QT's for different sigs.

Yes.  Templates  are  used  instead of signatures. This is more useful
because  you can put text everywhere you want and also the cursor, not
only at the end like signatures. There are two kinds of templates:

  -  Message  templates  that  you  can  edit  in Accounts properties/
  Templates.

  -  Quick  templates that you can embed whenever you like (Utilities/
  Insert  Quick templates/...). These templates you can create in menu
  Options/Quick templates.

Go  to  Utilities/Auto Format (Shift+Ctrl+F). If you want to have this
feature  always  enabled,  go to Options/Editor preferences and enable
the 'AutoFormat' checkbox.

A  paragraph is recognized by TB only if there is a blank line between
them.
So, this is an example for a 'uncorrect' paragraph.

TB  is  in some things a bit tricky and special, but if you're used to
them, you'll love it and never want to go back to Outlook, Mozilla and
all that crap.

So short,
Beat

Nevertheless  random  signatures  also  can  be done by templates with
cookies. A useful macro for signature templates is %ISSIGNATURE.

Alt-L.

Ctrl-Shift-F  toggles  autoformatting.  It  can  be also set in editor
preferences.  But.  You  have  to  be very careful with autoformatting
turned on -- you have to provide an empty line between paragraphs.

You  don't need to select a paragraph calling any kind of reformatting
if  the cursor inside this paragraph (if not to mention an ancient bug
with  that  you  have  to place cursor into paragraph with a keyboard,
that  means that you have to make a move with arrows if TB! refuses to
reformat current paragraph correctly).

Signatures; Margins/wrapping

[Leonard S. Berkowitz]

1. Is the only way to insert a signature through the use of templates?
I am not interested in random signatures or cookies. There is an entry
for "signatures" in the help index, but it displays an essay on
templates.

2. The message editor wraps nicely until I go back an insert a word or
two. Then I have to use Utilities>Format Block>Left to fix it. A pain.
Is there a way to set wrapping to be more automatic, like a word
processor? In one instance, I highlighted the entire text and selected
Format Block. Three paragaphs became one and I had to create the
paragraphs again. Another pain. Any tricks here?

Thanks.

Leonard
