Why is it that if you copy text from a word document and post here, it deletes spaces between words and runs them together? It didn't used to do that. And it's a waste of time to try to correct it, because even after inserting spaces between words it takes them right back out again.

What is up with that?

I think it has to do with chrome. Is that what you use?

hi RickyZ,

try this, open a new text document from the notepad then copy the text from the word document and paste it first in the newly opened notepad so that it would reset any formats from the word doc then copy the text from the notepad and paste.

hope it will solve your problem

God bless.

I will give that a try. I've seen others here who have the same issue.

control/shift/V ... ok, not sure what it's supposed to do but I'll give it a try. Is that a paste option?

I just saw that if you do that, it will stop the text from formatting when you paste it
