| Well, I looked at the html code and don't see any reason for all the lines. It looks like the only way to add text will be to build an image on my hard drive with text and then paste it into the "add text" page for the home page. Seems pretty cumbersome. Any ideas?

I assume you figured it out since you have text on your home page.

Hi Tomas, and thank you for checking on my progress. Actually I did not figure it out rather I found out what seemed to be causing it. I found that when I paste text into the page for adding text, IF it is pasted in with Notepad, then gives the lines above and below each line of text.
If I put the text into a M$ Word page and then copy that and paste it into the text input page, the problem goes away. Rather mysterious. I am a veteran of some 25 years in Main Frames programmer,systems analyst, DP Mgr. So when something can be worked around but not understood, I get a bit nervous :-).
Thanks again,
bill

| When you copy & paste into the editor in the admin, it will copy and paste the formatting that is on the text before. To fix this, you have to view the HTML and remove everything but the paragraph or break tags. If you see span, font, style, etc that needs to be removed. Here is your text on your home page: <p><span size="2" face="verdana" style="background-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><span color="#003333" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 51);">Our store carries an unusual selection of interesting, useful and sometimes odd things. Check them out by browsing the list of Store Categories in the navigation bar at the left of this page. And to start shopping right away head over to the categories and have at it! Otherwise, please read on.<br />

Once again, Thank You for visiting. Enjoy! </span></span>
</p> The stuff I have highlighted in red is what makes those lines you see. If you remove all of that from the html in the editor, then save, those light highlighting lines will be gone as will all formatting. Save it, and then see if you want to change it.

Hi Jennifer, and thank you for the tip. Now that I see the explanation, I am connecting the dots. I noticed later when I was putting pictures into the html for my About page that there was a bunch of extraneous code that caused problems. But until you showed it I did not think to connect that to the problem with pasting in text.
Thanks again.
