Someone needs to use the space bar a littlemore often.

The problem is not a space bar issue. It is the way the original document was laid out and the line breaks. When copying and pasting, many times the new space is smaller or larger, the line breaks don't align, so the original text and its line breaks don't line up.

But I think we were okay reading it, right? It would be very intensive work to edit every article that is posted, unless, of course, you have some space time.

Thanks, Sara, for the post. Your effort is appreciated.
