which browser and OS?

MAC OSX Version 10.5.5 (G5) Browser wife says is AT&T. Get to CR4 via Hotmail, if that makes any difference. Thanks for interest.

CR4 strips out what it considers to be extra whitespace, so you will not be able to indent text on a line. This isn't something we are considering changing right now. Inserting paragraphs is the best way to go, and all you have to do there is hit Enter.

FYI, the last icon in the editor toolbar (the little "Clean up" broom) will "clean up" (which is to say, strip out) whitespace, etc while you are editing, so you can click that at any time to see what the result will look like before posting.

Well I have ended up putting [ then p then] and it worked.

Ah, I think I finally understand what is happening... if you are seeing the instructions that say to insert "[p]" into your message then you are not using the "nice" editor that everyone else uses. The "nice" editor works requires Javascript and is supported on the major browsers (IE and Firefox, for example, plus some others).

If you think you should be able to use the nice editor (so, you not disabling javascript and are using IE or Firefox) then you can contact cr4admin@globalspec.com and we can help you figure out why you are not getting the editor.
