Re: copy and paste puts in double space

Pasting using puretext gives the same effect as using plain text.
Puretext gives that effect of pasting into Notepad, then copying from
Notepad to your destination.

So if you want to maintain the fonts, bolding, italics, etc, that won't
do what you want.

I get a little nervous downloading software to my work computer so I
went to
the web site and read that puretext will remove rich formatting, such
as font
style and colour and not lines, carriage returns, etc. Is this not the
same
as me selecting plain text? If possible I would like to keep all my
text
formatting.

Hi, When I copy from one email message and paste into a new
message, it
double spaces the copied text and I can't delete the spaces. I have
to
type
the message from scratch to maintain my formatting. I have selected
plain
text and it takes out the spaces but then I lose all my formatting.
Any
suggestions on how to take out the spaces without the formatting
would be
great.
