Several folks have asked why they get poor results and loose all of the formatting when they attempt to copy and paste myITforum Blog content of the many code examples from my Blog in particular to use for their own.
As far as my Blog content is concerned the content is Microsoft Word compatible and you can copy and paste any of the content from my posts into Microsoft Word and not loose any of the layout formatting or syntax color highlighting. Then simply copy and paste the Microsoft Word document content into your favorite code editor or into notepad and save the file with the appropriate file extension and the format will be preserved without the extraneous blank line spaces.
For example if you find a particular Vbs or Sql script that you want to use or modify for your own purposes (Which I wholeheartedly encourage you to do) highlight the text just under the header which usually begins with VBS Script: or SQL Script: to the end of the script and copy and then paste the text into Word and then copy and paste the Microsoft Word content into notepad or other text based editor.
If you are using a news reader such as SharpReader or BlogJet you can use the same process from there as you can from the Blog pages themselves.
