3 ReactionsFor me, @johnbishop, Notepad is the tool of choice. As you pointed out, Connect Post ignores most style instructions and presents words in "plain vanilla text," so a direct transfer from Notepad is effective and efficient. In fact, I almost never compose anything on the Connect web site (because I have lost important ideas to clumsy fingers and faulty clicks). Instead, I draft in Notepad, then select it, copy it (CTRL-C), then paste it (CTRL-V) into a Connect web site COMMENT. Once it's on the web site, I delete (or don't save) the text on my laptop, saving beaucoup disk space!

3 Reactions@predictable, That is what I am learning to do! I guess you might say that I am a work in progress:-).
Hi All: It seems like we all need a plan in order to not "lose a work in progress." Some great ideas!

1 ReactionAren't we all, Rosemary! Sometimes, I just wish my creator would work a bit more slowly or a lot faster, but His timing is perfect and mine is not!
