Here's a weird one
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 |

Here's a weird one
1. I thought pasting text into notepad strips formatting, it doesn't? 2. When I paste it into Notpad, the tabs are fine. When I copy from notepad and paste into word, the tabs are messed up, no other problems `````````````````````````````` On Mon, 19 Jun 2006 21:45:54 +0200, Doug Robbins - Word MVP wrote: What's a mess?

You could use a wildcard Replace to replace say 3 or more spaces with a tab
space -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "sf" wrote in message ...
