Hello:
I often want to copy a long email message to Word for printout; very often
the email appears on my screen as half-page width on the left, and copies
that way to Word. How can I automatically expand the text to full line width
without using delete/backspace for every line. I understand there is a
funciton in Word that does this automatically?
Thanks,
Bill

You would need to remove all the carriage returns inserted by the
sender's email program.. You might be able use "Find and Replace", or
another function of Word. Ask in a Word NG for better help..
