Guess they didn't consider it unrelated enough to justify a new topic.

Just post it in the thread (and remember to remove the Office formatting first)

Word uses html to make their pages' formatting.

If you copy and paste it into the rich text version of the forums message window, it will retain all the HTML elements, and be posted as plain text.

Try pasting into an app like Notepad the repasting into here.

type it up in notepad instead. Or copy/paste to notepad first, remove all the junk, then post it.
