I dont know why but each time I do so, the results are elongated by too many spaces. Can anyone explain why, please?

No, I don't know :)

However, when I do it, I then delete some of the text and reword some of it, as would be required in other sites such as in rootschat :)

The problem was discussed here:

Conclusion: use printer friendly version when copying.

If you are using Windows and Internet Explorer try this.

At the top of the screen where the address for the website is a little symbol that looks like a torn piece of paper. Click on this and it should change colour. Do the same for any website that you cut and paste content from.

Its called Compatiblily View
