To see what I'm saying, try the following: - open notepad and disable word wrapping. - type a few lines of text in MicroEd and copy/paste it to Notepad. - type a few lines of text in the Windows Editor and copy/paste to Notepad. See the difference? Though you see wrapping underway, it's actually not there and will not be there on sending either. MicroEd's ability to truly format on the fly while typing is special and is the reason behind the wrapping behaviour without auto-format enabled. You have to reflow text that was initial flowed. Auto-format was introduced to reflow re-edited text on the fly, but it will not know that you're defining a new paragraph unless you use two line feeds. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat!™ v3.5.0.31 System Specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- Oxymoron: Rear Admiral. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.31 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
