Here I am trying to write a simple paper entitled "The Pitfalls of Net Neutrality in a Christian Country with mostly Christian Legislators and Legislatures" and you want me to be looking for little tiny arrows among a set of controls I hate looking at because they are so crowded and inelegant while I want to be concentrating on the salacious details. Is it too much to ask for a simple switch to turn Word into a simple editor that produces a product that I can paste easily into a Facebook Note? -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

Wordpad might, indeed, be the ticket. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

When I remarked about the problem to my wife, she said to use the option to keep text only when you OK the paste. That didn't work, but keeping the source formatting did. It picked up a very strange font, but that is easily corrected. Now, this is probably something I can remember. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

Even after I dropped the word document into Notepad, the Facebook editor treated each sentence as a separate paragraph. So I spent a lot of time deleting CR-LFs and spaces to get the lines to meld properly. Then I couldn't attach a note to a message, so I did it all over again in the message object. Alas, I was ultimately told that the message was too long to send. Real time bummer. Giving up, I posted to my MSMVPS blog and just included a URL to that document in the message. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA |
