Sounds like you're in trouble then.

HTML is the way to go

There is an html sandbox on this board. Go play there - someone will show up and show you the ropes (code)

Save your Word doc as HTML, then copy/paste.

Frankly, it’d be easier to learn HTML.

Frankly I’d be more impressed by what you have to say than how you present it. Plain text is fine for most purposes.

You can get a free editor. Kompozer or HTML Kit. There is a list of freebie HTML editors here.

Go to

HTML Sandbox 2012

Copy the examples of HTML script that produce the effects on a webpage that you like to a Word document and save it to a file.

Then when you decide that you wish to use them in a post you need only copy them to another word document, insert your text in place of the example text, and then copy the completed post in HTML form to the post block and you’re done.

I keep a scratch pad HTML word document open on my computer whenever I am on FR.

Most important is the tagline.

This is purely a selfish attempt to make my replies/posts more 'colorful'.

OK then, we'll get right on to the job of redesigning the internet because you want to use a proprietary document format to display your posts.

Ok, I deserve this. I will go sit in the corner now. (I do hate the HTML, though)

Well actually, when the rain lets up, I’m gonna go hunt wild pigs....

Thanks for the replies, I think...

Keep it simple and stay on message.
I'm sick of web pages where my bandwidth is consumed by megabytes of snazzy pictures for every bit of actual information.

I'd make an exception for cute kittens, those "Not Guilty" pictures and when the image is essential to the story.

I'm also weary of Microsoft tools, they sometimes produce web pages that can only be viewed with Internet Explorer version whatever-you-have + 1.

I really don't like the HTML concept.
