Line feeds in Outlook 2003

[80/20]

My emails are all composed in html format.

If I copy from either a Word document or a recieved email and then
paste into a new email the line feeds are double instead of single.
This happens even if the original was single line feed.

How do I stop this?

When you paste from word you are pasting word's formatting which is
converted to its html code. use paste special, as text or paste into
notepad then copy from notepad and paste. if you do this often get
puretext - it's a windows application that automates removing the formatting
from text on the clipboard.

Diane,
Many thanks for suggesting Puretext - downloaded it this morning and
it does everything you said it would.

I do a lot of copying and pasting so this little utility will save me
a lot of grief.

Thanks again.
Steve

PS: Also tried it within Outlook Contact notes and it works for there
as well.
