Single spacing
Hi Len,
You should be able to copy and paste a poem from a word-processing application such as Word and keep the spacing by following these steps:
1. Copy the poem from the original document.
2. Open a blog or article/story/poem add page as usual.
3. Click "enable rich-text" below the main text field. A toolbar will appear.
4. Click the "Paste from Word" icon, the one that looks like a blue W on a clipboard.
5. Paste the text and click "Insert."
6. Click "Submit" as you normally would to post
Please give it a try and let me know at support@redroom.com if it doesn't work. Thanks!
