As Wyvern (and others, I hope) noticed, I posted a bumble poem to the bumble thread last night. But I noticed that when I read the post, it was not arranged in stanzas as I had attempted using the CR/enter key to add space between the stanzas. Anyone know what I did wrong or have suggestions on how to arrange a post to look like I want it? Various tricks to do anything are welcome, although, at this point, I don't anticipate doing anything really fancy.

Thanks, everyone. Dr.Pick

Hello Dr. Pick! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif What I do is type my poem in Word, then copy and paste into the reply field here. All the control characters, i.e. CR, spaces, copy with it! I am sure there are other ways, this is just how I do mine! Hope that helps! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

By the way, I had not read it until now... VERY funny! I enjoyed the cadence a lot! Good work! http://www.users.qwest.net/~nmkaye/yelclap.gif

BLKCat, still laughing!

Thanks BLKcat, I was pretty disapointed in how it turned out. I'll try what you suggested.

Dr. Pick -

Edit your post and remove the blank lines you want to remove.

I mostly write online (shows, doesn't it? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif ) but I have used wordpad and copy and pasted - that works too!

Don't be disappointed! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif The way it reads it could have been done that way on purpose. Poem stanzas can be anyway you want them you know. I liked it just as it is! Cross my heart! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

By the way, glad to have you here! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

BLKCat, hoping to reassure you! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Thank you both! (again Blkcat) And I'll do that Wyv. Thanks for the encouragement and help. I knew I could count on the good folks of this forum-you're the best!
