I don't know how to fix this article ... every time I copy and paste I end up with the format all messed up and the above is the resulting mess. I'm using a freeware program called Kingsoft Writer, and would really appreciate any instruction on what I might do to get this into a readable format. Help me please.

You're outputting ' ' (a hard space) instead of the normal space character to start with. You're also setting margins within your text.

Why don't you export your document to text, open and save it in a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and then post it?

I will try this. Thank you for being constructive in spite of the mess.

Or paste it as plaintext.

I recommend Openoffice/libreoffice, or google docs

good to know. I've used Openoffice in the past and am regretting not using it on this computer. At least I'm learning :-)
