    Arrow Attention : MS Word Users

    When copying & pasting from a MicroSoft Word Document to post here,
    you will get unwanted font, color, etc brackets ...
    Example : xxxxxxxxxxxxx-posted text-xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    The way I remedy this is to open another forum in a seperate browser. (NOT another part of MSF)
    I copy from the MicroSoft Word Document & paste the text in the reply box of the other forum ...
    I then cut the text from the reply box of the other forum & paste it in the reply box here @ MSF ...
    using the other forum in this manner removes all of the commands that MicroSoft Word imbeds.

    (No, you don't have to post at the other forum.)

    In stupidly long posts, tend to use Wordpad, i haven't had any problems with using it, it's also lighter than Word so you save the planet as well.

    Paste to notepad, cut it again then repaste here - eliminates all formatting and takes text back to its simplest form

    Yup, there's no need to use another website. Most people have nopepad and it only takes a fraction of a second to load, I have it in my quickstart toolbar.

    Same here. Don't know why you'd go to all the effort of opening word up
    Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.

    I found it & I have also added it to my toolbar.
    (I wasn't aware of this useful program, I will definately use it.)

    Thanks Everyone !
