why would you want to use a WP to answer questions? are you planning to write an essay or something? if you really do plan a long answer, with formatting, pictures, etc. i suggest you write the Word document, post it to the web (ftp perhaps) and then post a link to it as your answer to the question.
Thankyou for that, as yet I haven't used Note Pad, but I will give it a try. I prefer to use Word as I am interested in sharing recipes, and they are so much easier to do on Word, with all it's short-cuts, and of course Spellcheck. Also sometimes time is tight "on line."
