new codes for formatting text

[bena]

I have found (quite accidentally) that you can copy and paste things typed in open office (a free program much like word) and for some reason it keeps your format.

thanks for the heads, up

i got openoffice and tried it but it isn't working for me can you tell us how you did it exactly please bena

Did you save the file in .odt format? Because when I open mine I've saved that way (having pasted from word into open office) they have this odd grey space for places that have spaces and I just copied and pasted right into here. Maybe it doesn't work if you just type them into openoffice, of that I'm not really sure. But if you paste from word into openoffice, then copy paste from there back here it does. God, that hurt my head...

ORRR dammit I think I've solved it. If you have your poem all nice and formatted the way you want it in word, just right click it and chose "open with" and chose openoffice. Then C n P here. Tada. That seems simpler.
