I have a large number of books and wargames rules sets I just typed up. When I cut and paste on to the Message Board and previewed it, it came out as one large paragraph with symbols. Is there anyway to cut and paste on TMP. Thanks – Hal |

Let's try that again! You should probably: 1. Make sure your text is plain ascii/text -- not in the native form of any word processor you are using. 2. Add <pre> at the very start of your text and </pre> at the very end. This means "This text is pre-formatted, honor the line breaks, paragraphs, etc. in these tags." It may make your font look a little funny . |

Thanks, Jeff. How do I make sure my text is plain ascii/text? |

If you have a Windows PC the easiest way is to copy it and paste it into a notebook file. That will strip out all the formatting. Then just copy the notebook text and paste it into tmp. |

Also the preview window doesn't show things exactly as they appear. |

Thanks very much! It all came down to "the preview window doesn't show things exactly as they appear." |
