paste tool not there when I need it

[Beemer Biker]

I am pasteing courier text from notepad (or wordpad) into a table on an html
page. The spaces are being converted to a single space. This ruins my
ascii artwork. There is supposed to be a paste tool. I see it show up when
useing wordpad, when using notepad as a source it is not there.
Irregardless, the spaces are converted to a single space even if "preserve
source format" is selected. "text only" generates the exact same thing, no
different than "preserve source format" or whatever. When I finally get my
html page assembled, I would like people to be able to select the text (in
the table cell) and drop it into their text application and not have to go
thru the same problem I am having. AFAICT there are no tabs in the ascii
text I am working with and I put it into notepad, put in some spaces to make
sure, then copied and pasted back out of notepad. Didnt make a difference.

....thanks in advance...

That is a general HTML issue, if you enter two space, the second one is ignored.

In FP, if you insert two spaces, and then switch to HTML/Code View, you will see that one of the
spaces is change to a

Replace the spaces with &nbsp; or create it as a image.

When you use spaces, the size of the space is dependent on the font and font size on the machine
viewing the page.
