Problem when pasting text from Word into Mail
Zack
doubles the line returns. In other words, if in Word there is a
single return (my intent is to start a new line immediately below the
previous one) in mail the pasted text will show a double return (ie
double spacing).
This had previously happened to me when I was running Panther; after I
queried on this board someone suggested that I use shift-option-
command-v to paste, and this solved the problem. A few weeks ago I
bought a new Mac Mini running Snow Leapard. Now the problem has
returned, and using shift-option-command-v does not solve it.
Word itself appears to be functioning fine. Everything displays and
prints properly, and when I turn on show formatting the return
(paragraph) marks are in the proper place, and in the proper number.
Any advice appreciated!

It's likely that Mail does not import all of Word's paragraph formatting
properties.
When I paste from Word into Mail, the paragraph spacing does not agree with
the paragraph spacing assigned in Word.
If you want to preserve the formatting, you will need to send as an
attachment in either Word or PDF.

Here's my fix: Paste first into a text edit doc, then copy and paste again into Mail.
This seems to work. But we shouldn't have to do that!
Alternative fix: Replace the Mac with a new PC, and give up on the idea that Apple cares about anything else but making money.
