Clint,
I forgot to mention "Paste Special", in the WordPad "Edit" menu.
I use WordPad almost exclusively for documents. Whenever I have a problem
pasting something into WordPad, I try Paste Special. It usually keeps the
format of the original text intact.
HTH, John.

That's a good idea, but it's always done that when pasting from
something other than plain text (Notepad or Metapad, etc. I should also
point out it also does then when pasting from **plain text** email). I
have yet to determine if this is "normal" behavior for v5.1 on XP SP3,
but Karl says it is NOT. He also can change spacing with certain key
combo's that don't work for me. The versions on Vista and Win7 are
different and have these paragraph/line spacing options on the toolbar.

Clint,
In XP, can you go to "Accessories" and disable WordPad? I'm thinking
that if WordPad used to work properly, you could try removing it, then
reinstalling it. (?)
BTW; my Vista WordPad is version 6.0.
John.

Mine is V 6.1.7600. It came with Win7. I'd rather have my old
version back! I guess this is good if you don't have the full
version of Word, but I liked my simple little Wordpad. I wouldn't
mind this so much if you could change the defaults and make them stick.
