No offense, but do you think that articles just format themselves??? If you want to cut and paste with formatting included from the originial source, then cut and paste the formatting also, not just the text. What you posted is almost unreadable...

I realized it was "almost unreadable" which is why I immediately followed up the post with an apology and the address the article could be found. As far as formatting, yes, actually, every other board I post at does retain the formatting. How does one copy the formatting from an article and paste it here?

If you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer then go to the menu bar at the top and choose the View > Source option. This will usually bring up your default system text editor, in most cases Microsoft Notepad. The View|Source option will take the entire page with the text and all the HTML formatting codes in an open Notepad file. You can then cut and paste both the text and all of its HTML formatting which you may then pare back to what is needed to maintain paragraphs, bold, italics and underline etc...

Also, to make it easier on your fellow FR readers, instead of just placing the text to a web site that you want to refer to in a message actually make an HTML link so that it may just be clicked on to view. For example, one of the best freeware replacements for the basic Microsoft Notepad with great HTML editing support is a product named NoteTab Light currently version 4.95, by Fookes software. Notice how much easier that is for a reader to access instead of just "www.notetab.com" which the reader has to cut/paste into the IE address bar.

Best of luck...
