Simon, hi; i just closed my request as your reply was helpful. But i thought it might be useful to add that the main problem i'm having in copying or pasting text (rather than cross posting) is that although it looks right in the editor - when the save function is used and the post is then read, it comes out as word salad and minus all the formatting. this has also started happening at my blogspot (which recently changed some functionality as well). i have the option of entering either HTML or small amounts of pasted text and editing piecemeal.
notepad is a help (thanks) i'd forgotten i had it!
hope you don't mind commenting on this, didn't seem worth blocking the maintenance channel but it's a new and slightly odd development.
feel free to ignore what is probably some obvious mistake of mine and best wishes to all the DW crew for the new year.
