Thanks for the info, Marck, but I've tried the autoformat options and
it still irritates. Pasting large amounts of text near the end of a
line, in particular, always leaves a line outstanding and the cursor
sometimes hops down to a new line instead of staying at the end of the
pasted text, for reasons I haven't yet worked out. For instance, if I
copy what I have written so far, with autoformat and wordwrap on, and
paste it close to the end of a line, part of the copied text on one
line goes way beyond the word wrap limit, even if I go on to a new
para, so it's back to alt-l to bring it back in again. However, if I
add a character to text within the offending para, it re-aligns
automatically. Aaargh! I just want it to wrap like most other Windows
program (drums heels on floor and screams). It also used to do other
quirky things, like indenting new lines on hitting Return, which I
think was template based and involved trawling through all the
accounts I had set up to get rid of it. If there is a way to alter the
default template settings, I wish I knew it before I had set up six
accounts :(
Cheers
John
Apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?
