HTML Problem, Unwanted Space When Printing
Hi Rafael: When copying or pasting HTML, Word attempts to preserve the
"appearance" of the HTML. ... The printed document came out with one
double
spaced line, making a blank space. Thanks, Rafael

HTML Problem, Unwanted Space When Printing
... something related to the above problem. This morning I typed
a document
in word, then printed it. The printed document came out with one
double
spaced line, making a blank space. Thanks, Rafael

Sorry. I didn't explain the problem. Sometime a subject I bring up
(not post) to look at all the answers, has my original post first at
the top of each problem. That's the way I want it. But I can't get
it to format like that most of the time. Sometimes it just happens to
lay out like that, maybe when I do 'relevance, maybe when sort by
time. Today I went to #12 of my posts and answers, aand it appeared
as above, the way I always want it. I want my page to appear like
that because then it clarifies my original post from all the answers.
Thanks, Rafael

* "... has my original post first at the top of each problem...."
I mean, that all following posts are indented, while the original post
stays at the left side of the page.

Hi Rafael:

Yeah, filthy top-posters stuffing up your user experience. Shoot them
all!!! :-)

To have real "control" over how a newsgroup appears, you need to be using a
newsreader, not a web browser.

See here:
http://word.mvps.org/mac/accessnewsgroups.html

To be have proper control over the display of a newsgroup, you really need a
newsreader that correctly threads by "Reference". Entourage does NOT.

However, Entourage is far nicer to use, so I live with it: I have made
myself a Custom Arrangement tat sorts first by Subject and then by "Sent"
time. That gets close enough for me.

Threading by reference is nice when the Reference field is correctly
populated, but many web interfaces to USENET these days don't do that, in
which case a "Thread by Reference" newsreader can give you a display worse
than the simple "Thread by sorting" technique I use.

There is a list of "real" newsreaders here:

Cheers
