THAT'S what the fix was!!!! You're right! It's perfect in FireFox's latest version, copy/pasting from FF to Writer! It's NOT the pasting operation into Writer somehow, it's the COPY operation in IE that frogs it up! IE to Word works, probably because they're both Microsoft! IE to Writer fails. FF to Word works fine! FF to Writer works fine! lol, Ugh, that feels counterintuitive! I wouldn't think the w3schools site would put IE into Quirks mode so it must be a adifferent non-complaince of IE's. Not that it matters. OK, I'm off to document this, this time!
