Hi Barry, welcome to the forums.
For future reference, there are many sources for text, including email, and many of them have their own hidden formatting. Our forums are WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). In other words, you don't want to copy then paste any weird formatting into your forum. One of the best ways to avoid that is to copy the text from the source you are using into the Notepad program on your Windows computer. (If you are using a Mac this doesn't apply). Then, highlight and copy the text from Notepad, and paste it into your message or article in your forum. Notepad removes any weird formatting and leaves clean text to paste into your forum. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I'm having great difficulty in moving text from an incoming email that includes a letter someone had published, to the news desk section. If you look at the last one "how far left does Obama lean", it came to me in the body of an email. I struggled trying everything to find a way to transfer it. FINALLY, the only way I could do it was to make it a pdf then it transferred easily! Guess I get confused too easily. Also, how do I change the subject issue on the home page? Just by clicking the x on one of the other letters or what? |
