Awkward line breaks; IE crashes upon editing

Chris987

Hi Greg,

I am using MS Word to edit my postings before I enter them into the forum and some of the time there are line breaks that get into the posting that make them very awkward to read. Once they are in this state, if I try to edit them, IE crashes. It does not seem to always happen. I'm on Win 10 and IE 11. Do you have any advice on

1) how I could avoid this in the future and

2) how I could edit the existing postings that have this problem?

Two examples are "Spring Summer Casual Shoe Refresh" and "Nic & Zoe Mixed Moto Fit?" I'm ok with using Notepad or WordPad instead of Word if that would be a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for letting us know about this. I think what is happening is that Word is adding special codes into the text that IE does not understand.

I have manually fixed those two posts, but that isn't a long term solution. Would you please try either Notepad or WordPad and see whether they work better?

In the meantime I will investigate the Word problem.

Thanks Greg.

I have been using notepad recently and it seems to solve the problem. I would like to hear what you learn about word, maybe there is some setting that would turn off the special characters.

And thanks so much for fixing those older postings.
