Good Old 'Notepad'

[kbobam]

I don't know if this was specifically mentioned yet.  The Windows Notepad program is how I've been getting around the hideous way the new forum format does the 'spacing' of the text in messages.

Typing your message in Notepad first, and then 'copying and pasting' into TMC allows you to avoid the often awkward typing until you run out of space on the right side of the page,

and get the spaces between lines and paragraphs much more to your personal liking. 

Or maybe not!  Give it a try and see what you think!  And once you've pasted your message into the TMC box, you can use all the bold, italic, font size style color, etc., features to your heart's content.

I'm going to repost this entire message now, but using the Notepad technique to do it the way I want to.

Hmmmm.  I thought I had figured out how you did it.  I was wrong.

Did I ever make sure I could do it myself?
*double checks*
Yes, I can do it.  
So I thought this was how you did it. 

I type a line and then I hold down the [shift] button while hitting [enter].

Ha!  Nice!

I hope you know that the fact I couldn't help trying this myself in no way

implies that I had any doubt that it would work! 

Probably the most important change that could be made to our educational

system would be to teach kids early on that there are different ways to solve

any given problem.  We have millions of people in the world who think

they're 'bad' at certain things.  I'm convinced that this is often caused by

teaching methods that imply there's only 'one way' to accomplish given tasks. 

Many of us might find that we're really good at things we thought we stunk at if

we opened ourselves to the possibility that our radically different brains/bodies/souls

simply require different 'learning approaches' and practical techniques.
