Re: copying and pasting text from internet to Word

[Susan Burstein <portland@CONNIX.COM>]

Jean Bellavance recently posted a hit which contained this hint for
solving the short line problem when you copy and paste from Netscape into
Word:

<The "fix" when printing is to have your messages pasted into a word
<processing program (I use Word). You can then use your edit/replace
<function to look for carriage returns/paragraph marks- and replace them
<with a space. You may need to count how many spaces in the "wrapped"
<section and include them in the replace also. We use this when printing
<from the Internet to conserve printing for students since they pay $.10
<a page. Many have become proficient at using the replace function this
<way!

I would really appreciate hearing from the lm_net member who suggested
this fix.  I get partway through the process, and then lose it.

Thanks,

Susan
