Newbie question about typing a post

When I type a post to a website (like this) I usually do the typing in a Word doc and then copy/paste. I can't seem to do that here. Am I doing something wrong, or does this system not allow it? I can paste the text, but it disappears when I click "Preview". Thanks for your help.

Never tried to preview when doing a C&P. Have to assume the font & format don't match up.
Just click submit, you can always edit or delete.

OK – here is my test to copy/paste without using “Preview” first.

Cut-and-paste from Word

I assume it either a font or a version compatibility, as I just did it with preview!

If you post some music first... everything else works. Sorta like stroking a woman. :lol:

Nice try on the music, GLENNY, but your ears may not thank you. However, I will keep working at it!

Record and post it man!
This is a great place to learn and grow. Sure you may get slapped about the head n shoulders some, but you can also get advice, and feedback here from a veritable cornucopia of musical talents and experience.

I could not even begin to list the things I have learned here over the years, from these guys, and others whom no longer grace these pages.
