Hi, I'm running Textpad 4.7. I've got an HTML document which I'm editing. When I cut and paste some text, the pasted text contains additional blanks which I haven't added. This is quite annoying since I've to re-format the document each time, wasting a lot of time.
Is there a workaround to this?
Regards,
M.
Formatting lost when cutting and paste

Are you cutting and pasting from within TextPad or are you taking the content from another application?
You refer to <i>formatting</i> in your post - are you trying to copy formatted HTML from a browser window? If so, TextPad will only insert the plain text that has been copied and there may be some characters that it won't be able to display.
If you can provide more information on what you are copying the problem may be clearer.

Thank you for your reply. I'm writing HTML from within Textpad. Let's say that I've got a paragraph which I want to copy and change slightly. I copy and paste it. When I paste it the text is shifted by some tabs.SteveH wrote:Are you cutting and pasting from within TextPad or are you taking the content from another application?

Example:
Text before copying:
Code: Select all
<p>
<ul>
<li>One item here</li>
<li>One item here</li>
<li>One item here</li>
</ul>
</p>
Code: Select all
<p>
<ul>
<li>One item here</li>
<li>One item here</li>
<li>One item here</li>
</ul>
</p>
Check what setting you have for tab spaces within the application or document class.
It may be that the text you are copying includes tabs before the unordered list brackets and these are then spaced equivalent to 18 characters.
Turn on hidden text options to see whether the text is formatted with a mixture of tabs and spaces.
Hope this helps.

Found the "problem". I just selected text, then positioned the cursor where I wanted to paste and the problem occurred. However if I copy from the beginning of the line and I paste putting my cursor at the beginning of the line the paste goes fine. I guess there is no escape to this.
Thanks for your help.
