The issue I am having is this ... as the customer types, the text wraps. Many put their own hard returns and spaces in to organize their description. It seems I can't get it to do both the wrap and show the actual formatting entered. If I format the field as physical wrap, the lines run off the page on the confirmation/printout. If I format it as virtual, then the hard returns, etc get lost. I have also tried using <PRE> on the confirmation page and email and that doesn't work either.> > Hmmm... scratching head!> > Trish> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Patricia Van Buskirk> Florida State University, Office of Telecommunications> 644 W.
