Thanks for the reply Bob. The legal text was not configured on an XP
box. It was originally created on a W2K server, and about 6 months ago all
our DCs were converted to W2K3 native mode. Everything has been fine with
the legal text until about a week ago, I believe when someone viewed the
default domain policy with a newer or older administrative template loaded,
resulting in [strings] getting truncated errors as seen in Q842933. That
hotfix does indeed address and fix the [strings] errors when viewing
policies, but sonce then, the legal text still is not formatted properly.
It seems to be
impossible to get it back to 1 long paragraph like it has always been. It
shows up with carriage returns in the places where the text was seperated by
" and a comma always causes a CR so I removed them all and replaced them
with ; Never had to do any of this before.

Are you saying that creating the GPO on a DC for the legal text is the same
as modifying the legal text in the DDP? And that it is properly formatted
and works 'normal' (as normal as this can be!) when it is not part of the
DDP?
