[stylist] Need HELP with WORD RIBBON problem

[Brad Dunsé]

That's what that ripping noise was, I thought 
someone was tearing up their tax bill, hmm. I 
would concur with Chris, with one additional thing. I would:

1. Open your poem, highlight the whole bit and copy it to the clipboard.
2. Paste it into an empty WordPad or NotePad document
3. Copy the whole bit again to the clipboard
4. Open an empty Word doc.
5. Using the applications key, the one left of 
the right CTRL key), arrow down to  you here 
something like "Keep text only". Sometimes you 
have to go past it and come from the bottom to 
hear it, otherwise it says something about pasting the formatting.

That will keep your apostrophes in there, or 
sometimes they are stripped out, which is always fun.

Oh one more step. After you paste your text in? 
Head out to the local cosmetologist and pick out 
yourself a wig to cover those bald spots :)
