Thanks for that, people. I'd changed that in the preferences, but maybe it
doesn't work if you change it there when the message is already open?

There are times, however, when you'll want to keep the auto-
formatting going but still avoid the "Item Item Item" problem.  
Best way to deal with that is, before editing in one of the list 
paragraphs, add an extra paragraph on either side to isolate it 
from the accompanying paragraphs.  Then, auto-formatting will keep 
your paragraph tidy as you edit, and, when you're done, just 
delete the two hidden paragraph marks.

Down at the bottom of the editor are some icons. Deselect the second and
third ( Auto-format and auto-wrap) and that should do it nicely for you.

Auto-format is your enemy here. Learn the toggle (Ctrl-Shift-F is
the default) and kick it in and out as needed.

MicroEd format problems

[M i c C u l l e n]

G'day tbudl,

I've switched to using MicroEd as my composition editor, and I'm slowly
getting used to the revolting look of non-proportional fonts.

But I've got a format problem. If I want to produce a list of items like this:

Item
Item
Item

It's OK as long as I don't need to edit ANYTHING in it, because if I do, it
immediately moves to:

Item Item Item

I've played with various settings, but haven't fixed it.

I'm sure it's something simple.

Any ideas? TIA.
