R26DAVE Posted 23, November 2008 Report Share Posted 23, November 2008 If I type out some stuff I would like to post up in word (where I can also spell check it..... ) why do I lose all my formatting when I cut and past it into the forum window. Thanks - Dave. PS - I am talking more about tabs and layout.....I also notice colours etc dont come through.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 23, November 2008 Report Share Posted 23, November 2008 They speak different languages mate The forum uses [i] to start italics - then [/i] to stop them, for example where word uses its own system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R26DAVE Posted 23, November 2008 Author Report Share Posted 23, November 2008 How annoying, I will have to come up with another way around this then.......bumble....bumble..... Thanks for the heads up ... Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClioF1 Posted 23, November 2008 Report Share Posted 23, November 2008 The forum uses hybrid html tags for formatting, I would use spell check in word with the raw text then format everything here. If you learn the formatting tags it can make it easier, but everything is available up the top of the post window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bremund Posted 23, November 2008 Report Share Posted 23, November 2008 Alternatively if you are using Firefox, there is a spell checker plug in, so it checks your spelling right here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nisch Posted 23, November 2008 Report Share Posted 23, November 2008 Alternatively if you are using Firefox, there is a spell checker plug in, so it checks your spelling right here Yep I was about to suggest this...
