I am trying to email myself a long text. When emailed, the format changes to
a scattered text.
example: John doe went to texas for the winter to get away from the
cold because
the winters in Colorado are
harsh. So he packed everything up and headed south.

When I copy and paste this text to Word 2003, how do I get it back to it's
original format, with full lines of words? Because back spacing everything
to fit again is driving me crazy.

thanks, Billy

In future, you should email the text as an attachment or at least as Rich
Text, which won't insert the line breaks.
