When you cut or copy from e-mail, each line acts as its own paragraph.  One
way to overcome this in Works 4.0a is to got to Edit - Replace (Ctrl + H).
With your cursor in "Find what", click on the paragraph code (a backwards
"P").  If you have the greater than (>) sign in your e-mail you would then
type ">" (no quotes).  (If you don't have ">" at the start of each line
then don't type the ">" sign.  Leave "Replace with" blank. If your e-mail
program does not put spaces after the greater than sign add a space in
"Replace with".  Click on Replace all.  You are done.  The procedure is
similar in Word 6.  Not sure about 7 but I imagine it will be quite
similar.  Of course in Word you could set up a macro to automate this
procedure.

Hope that helps.  If I can be of any further help...
