pasting and Word-was: hard act to follow

[grladams at teleport.com]

To revert back to the spacing from old Word, I think, In Office Word 2007
go to the "ribbon" the toolbar that's huge at the top and select from it's
Home tab, then go to the right, there's purple A that says Change styles.
Click on Change Styles and go to Style Set, then a menu will unfold. Move
your check from Default (Black and White) down to Word 2003 and it will
revert back to the old way. Then seal it that way by chosing change styles,
set as default. Laura- as wonderful as the content was, good find on the
Krupp thing, your postings contain the ’, the …, †which might be
codes for MS Word's smart apostrophe, smart hyphen, and smart quotes. I
don't know if all mine looked good, but what I did was for a place to draft
before I opened my email to cut and paste them, I used Notepad. I typed it
all nice with wordwrap on. Then turn off wordwrap, and select it all and
copy it. I thought those came out fine at least there were no weird codes. 
example of weird code and how it looks to read it.
Pynchon’s opinion?

to me, between the N and S there is a code that looks like AE. I can
understand if you're pasting a pdf that can't be cleaned of codes, that
stuff happens. But I think Word provides more dumb codes now than ever.
