I've only made two posts/comments, but why is it that I always get page breaks in wierd places once I've submitted my comment?

Here's a guess...

Sorry about that.  Did you copy and paste your comment into the box?

If you create your story in Word, or whatever word-processing program you use, and then copy and paste it into the form, you have to take an extra step to eliminate invisible coding that's hitchhiking on your paste.  It makes the bad line breaks.  Use this button, the one with the little "W" Word logo, and follow the instructions:

Groups 3

 

It doesn't always work perfectly. 

When you hit "Preview," if you see bad breaks, go into the text-entry box and just use Delete and the space bar to clean up anything.

Or you can wait for reinforcements to arrive.  Smile  I fix problems like this when I see them, as I've fixed yours.

thanks, that helps!

The first one I did cut and paste from a Word document, and I don't remember about the second.

It's good to know that there's always backup if I mess it up! Laughing
