copy and past

[lindap]

when i copy or cut from email (yahoo), when i paste the test to a document,
the formatting is screwy and each line is a separate text box. this happens
whether i tell it to past new box, or html, or new table.

not surprising if you're copy/pasting html formatted email, you're likely to
get all sorts of crazy results.

if it's just text, copy/paste into Notepad first to lose most of the
formatting then copy/paste into Publisher and reformat in Publisher.
