Hi!

When I open a wordpad.exe document and I start typing I use single
space.
Each time I cut and paste something from the internet that is also
single spaced, it frequently uses double space or 1.5 space!

How do I keep it from doing that, or how do I fix it once it's done
(w/o losing my formatting?)

Thank you,
MJ

Pasting text copied from HTML is always a crap-shoot. There's no way to
predict what you're going to get. My preferred method for circumventing
this problem is to use PureText, which pastes just the text and leaves the
formatting behind.
