multiple lines pasted as one line

[Jigsatics]

Hi!

I just encountered this problem when we upgraded our Word 97 to Word
2000. I used to paste the contents of a cell(multiple lines of text)
and paste it somewhere else(notepad, wordpad, etc.) Now, whenever I
copy multiple lines of text from a cell and I pasted it to notepad, I
get everything in one line. For some weird reason, whenever I'm pasting
it gets rid of my line feed/carriage return. For example:

The text from cell to copy:
The quick
brown fox
jumps over

Pasted in Notepad:
Thequickbrown foxjumps over

Please help.

In NotePad check under Format to see if Word Wrap is enabled. Chances are
that you have wrapped text in Word. Normally in Word multiple lines will
make up a single paragraph. There is not a carriage return at the end of
each line until it is printed.

It's not wrapped. there really is a carriage return at the end of th
word. we used the same document in word xp, and we got the desire
result

Word wraps all documents, Notepad does not unless you request it. An entire
paragraph of 15 lines in Word will be one line in Notepad unless wrapping is
turned on.
