    Mine had a task manager in it and when I clicked on it some weird stuff showed up. Nothing mentioned adding the notepad to it. Grrrrrrrrr.

    Yeah that's my fault, I should have said you need to right click on the notepad icon like so,

    I was just pointing out where the taskbar was previously, to see that pin to taskbar you need to right click on the notepad icon once its opened it will show up on the taskbar.

    Ok I figured it out. Thanks for the instructions. Now I have notepad but I'd still like to find out why my copy and paste and other weird things are going on. :/ I'll test it out in notepad later to see if it's doing it there as well.

    Hi,
    Like I said before it's basically a format from one source "webpage" to another webpage clash
    Note pad will strip the clashes and the final paste into your email webmail will result in your ability to edit the pasted content a lot easier :)

    I think I understand what you're saying. Well, not really. Drat. So far I'm only having trouble when I'm writing something and copy and pasting things from that source ...like switching paragraphs around, etc. Plus all the other problems mention. Dang I wish I knew more about how to talk about this stuff. :/
