When I reply to a post by clicking on 'Reply' the formatting as to paragraphs ends up, through the preview function, with multiple spaces between paragraphs. Due to my slow dial-up access I usually compose replies off line in MS word and then post them by pasting them for reply.

This sounds like a browser problem and not a dial-up problem. I use CompuServe most of the time unless I sign into my AOL account. (Or if I am at another location using public computers.) I can't open Yuku on the built-in CompuServe web browser. Everything just doesn't work properly. What I do is that I open a seperate Exployer browser to use Yuku. I don't have any issues that way. I did have a Netscape browser but that failed to function after a while.

So, I have CompusServe and a seperate Internet Exployer both open and at use at the same time.

You may want to try this.

Shalom,
Gretta
