Any way you could copy and post your proofread version on this link first to get rid of those goofy symbols?

..and then possibly condense and re-post here? I’d love to print a copy.

The formatting is all messed up in the original post, and it makes me want to give up reading it.

You posted the LOCATION on your computer for that program. Not a link to the website where others can access it.

On top of the page where threads are listed is the HTML Sandbox which has this link (from a fellow freeper). I have it bookmarked on my toolbar and use it when posting. Also needed when copying and pasting posts.

Now for your viewing pleasure (sorry, I thought I had seen it in the archives but it is at the gwpapers.virginia.edu site), the original. Try getting that to transfer when copying and pasting! :)
