I'm guessing, then, that the Word document uses a proportional font and the cut-and-paste function in Word is doing some weird calculation about the width of the proportional spaces and dropping them if the output is plain text. Doesn't sound very likely, except I'm grasping at straws for an explanation of the result.

I’ve often seen the list jam stuff together. I’ve pasted the same thing elsewhere and it works perfectly. --- On Monday, March 21, 2022, 2:02 PM, zMan <zedgarhoo...@gmail.com> wrote: Hey Bill--not commenting on the actual content at all one way or 't'other, just curious: how did you enter your longish post above? Something ran a bunch of the words together, and I'm 100% sure you didn't enter it that way. I've seen this in a couple of other places and either couldn't ask or the folks didn't remember what they did. I'd just like to understand it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
