In MS Word there are two ways of breaking a line: <RETURN> and
<SHIFT+RETURN>. The former is called a paragraph break and the latter a line
break. The former becomes double spacing in web format. The latter does not.
As Hal says, one can type the snap straight into one's e-mail program rather
than pasting from Word. In Outlook Express TOOLS - OPTIONS - SEND allows one
to chose to send work in HTML format, rather than text format. One could
also choose FORMAT - RICH TEXT(HTML). <CTRL>+i or <CTRL>+b will result in
italics or bold respectively.
One could also compose in Word, save it as HTML (you can do this in Word)
format and bc it to me as an attachment. This is about the only way to get a
piece fully justified unless you have an all-singing all-dancing HTML
editing program.
Unfortunately, ambitious spatial layout is probably not going to happen.
Repeated use of the spacebar to indent simply does not work. It will
evaporate leaving a single space.
Unfortunately, I do not have the temporal resources to do any plastic
surgery to submissions when mounting them on the web. Neither do I have the
telepathic resources to insert italics etc where none existed in the
submission I received.
If anyone is unhappy with the formatting of a snap, please re-send it to me
bc, with the week number in the subject and I will fix it. This will work
fine for bold, italics, line breaks, spelling or revisions. However, spatial
layout i.e. large indents or other use of white space is probably not going
to be fixable. If you want to give it a try, again, send it as a Word HTML
file as an attachment back-channel.
best wishes
