I think he many uses it for the locking function. Funny how he wants you to copy and paste stuff from a locked pdf.

ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I confess I wrote a buncha nonsense about PDF. It's not even good at copy and paste without the security. I'll change the format back to Microsoft Word but DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU GET MACRO VIRUS!!!

Where the hell is that SHOUT emoticon...

any luck with making it into a wordpad document i would really like to implement more of these fixes.

PDF is not good for copy and paste, it skips Carriage Return. HTML is not good too. When you copy and paste from HTML, it drops an additional empty line between your lines in the INI files (technically OK, but from human aspect, it is disastrous).

Word Documents are OK, but does everyone has Word? It costs about $100. I'm now thinking to RTF. Even Wordpad of Windows 95 can open it. Just some formatting aspect will be missing. I'll see what I can do tommorow. I'm too busy today.

Praise be to the light, who helped me accomplish the impossible. Finally, I have converted the documents to HTML format and fixed the copy and paste issues! :dead:

One day gone, and I fought myself a full GLA-against-GLA skirmish over RTF or HTML. Finally, HTML emerged victorious! Then, the limitations came. I just narrowly escaped retyping the whole document. Oh! So much for my intelligence and patience! I get weary and ticked off over the different problems of different formats so that you can simply download and enjoy the new format and its copy and paste ability, without even figuring out how (Place The Proper Adjective Here) currently I am.

Now that this great task is complete, perhaps my name will shine in the history for 63489217 milliseconds! Or maybe Deezire will give me a medal, maybe the "Order of Bug Typers"! :lol:
