- or just paste the text into Word or a html email.

Some of these text editors like NoteTab make simple html docs too.

WYSIWYG ..... lol

Happy Hunting!

Edit - I just now selected this #7 message individually and viewed the source code with my browser. Down at the bottom is my (this) message with <br /> tags inserted at the end of every line, paragraph, and space breaks between the sections right where you need them. Copy that message block inside the bottom <DIV> </DIV> tags and paste it into Notepad, do a search and replace to change the <br />'s into <br>'s, and most of the work is done! Then wrap that inside <P> <BLOCKQUOTE> under <BODY> and <HEAD> with % margins, and close it in reverse order: </P> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML> and you have a usable formatted html doc in less time than it took to edit this message.

Of course you would paste your formatted text patrol report into a forum post and use that - not MY message but you get the idea - I hope.
Thanks for the tips. I also noticed in the ini file is something like "use html" set to 0 or false (cant check right now as im on different OS) - any idea about that?
