Is there a word limit on here?
 
I just spent 20 minutes typing and my message wasn't posted, only the title. I saved it in word but I can't paste it back into the message window (?!)

At, or slightly under 500 words - - simply cut it into segments if that size, and post each subsequent part as a reply to yourself. <BR> <BR>Best wishes, <BR> <BR>Rex <BR>

Damnit, maybe the post was too long . Why don't you try to split it and paste a first, and then a second part of your text? <BR> <BR>Surlok

Yes. It's about 500 words (?) or guideline that I use is 1 page of a Word document (using 1 inch margins all around). Were you this message -- "So glad I faced fear and went - just back from R, F, Tuscany, V - happy to answer ques" ??? <BR> <BR>Best way to post a longer report or message is to type it up in Word. Then copy a section, about 1 page worth and then paste it as a reply. Continue "replying" with any subsequent portions until you've completed posting your entire document. <BR>

Are you right clicking your mouse to bring up the paste option? Or is it a different problem?

Damit! <BR> <BR>If you posted the "Tuscany" report, I have responded there. <BR> <BR>Been there also ... I write it in Word and then post approx one page at a time to the Fodor's site. <BR> <BR>Hopefully, you have note lost any of your text. <BR> <BR>Regards

The word limit hassle is the reason I post my trip reports on independenttraveler.com <BR> <BR>It's just a lot easier without the word limit.
