Maybe someone can tell me how to fix this problem. I copy something
from the internet which has been posted in Mastercook Mac form. I put
it into Notepad to strip the formatting and it looks fine, all I need
to do is change the font. Copy/paste it into Word... now, it's a mess
and requires lots of work from me to make it look decent.

What's wrong with this picture?

TIA
