copy and paste puts in double space
Hi, When I copy from one email message and paste into a new message, it
double spaces the copied text and I can't delete the spaces. I have to type the message from scratch to maintain my formatting. I have selected plain text and it takes out the spaces but then I lose all my formatting. Any suggestions on how to take out the spaces without the formatting would be great. Thanks, Heather |

1. Install Pure Text: http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/
2. Copy the desired text to your clipboard. 3. Click on the PT icon in Notification Area (to the left of the clock). 4. Paste the contents of your clipboard into your message. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) Heather4 wrote: Hi, When I copy from one email message and paste into a new message, it double spaces the copied text and I can't delete the spaces.

I get a little nervous downloading software to my work computer so I went to
the web site and read that puretext will remove rich formatting, such as font style and colour and not lines, carriage returns, etc. Is this not the same as me selecting plain text? If possible I would like to keep all my text formatting. "PA Bear" wrote: 1. Install Pure Text: http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/ 2. Copy the desired text to your clipboard. 3.

Pasting using puretext gives the same effect as using plain text.
Puretext gives that effect of pasting into Notepad, then copying from Notepad to your destination. So if you want to maintain the fonts, bolding, italics, etc, that won't do what you want. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Heather4" wrote in message news I get a little nervous downloading software to my work computer so I went to the web site and read that puretext will remove rich formatting, such as font style and colour and not lines, carriage returns, etc. Is this not the same as me selecting plain text?

I assume you're copying from MS Word or other MS Office applications. OE's
RichText/HTML formatting just doesn't "agree" with Office's version so you'll just have to edit the dated pasted into your OE email message, I'm afraid. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) Heather4 wrote: I get a little nervous downloading software to my work computer so I went to the web site and read that puretext will remove rich formatting, such as font style and colour and not lines, carriage returns, etc. Is this not the same as me selecting plain text?

If you are composing in something such as Word, then instead of ending a
line with Enter, use Shift-Enter. Then when you paste, OE will interpret that as a single line break. It interprets Enter as a double line break. steve "Heather4" wrote in message ...

I had to guess that instead of 'dated' you meant 'data'.
