You have got to be kidding me.<\/p>\n

I noticed a little extra space on my previous post<\/a> at the top of a quote I pulled out of SPECTRAL IRON. I wanted to cut it out, so I went to Ecto<\/a>, my blog client, and switched to its HTML mode. This is what I found embedded in my document as a result of the cut and paste – three hundred and thirty five lines of hidden goop, which looks like it came from Microsoft Word:<\/p>\n

Charming! Feel like dieting much, Word? Axually, it looks like this may be part of a strategy to ensure formatted cut and paste works in Word and other programs<\/a>, probably just interacting badly with Ecto.<\/p>\n

S’ok, Word. We love you anyway, just the way you are.<\/p>\n
