 Semper Vaporo, * Yes, thank you, that did add the missing toolbar.  I had found a workaround yesterday, but this top toolbar will help.  I usually never compose a message directly in the message composition box because it can self-delete when you hit post.  So I have always composed the message in Word, and then copy/pasted it into the forum message box.  *   However, this seemed most reliable when the message was composed in Word, using 12 pt. Times New Roman font, and then changing to the desired forum font from the forum message box.  Also, any undersocre or bold face should be added in the forum box rather than being pasted in with the Word document.  The forum message composer can lose its formatting if you paste in some bold face font.  *   It will also lose its formatting if you copy/paste anything from a PDF file, which can be highly proiblematic.  If I copy/paste from a PDF into a Word document, it looks fine there.  If I copy/paste from there to the message box, it loses all formatting and everything runs together like one long sentence upon preview, and in posting.  This happens with the entire text body, not just the PDF portion.  In fact, if I delete the PDF portion from the Word document, the rest of the text remains corrupted format that show up as such when previewed from the message box. * I have never know whether this is something particular to PDF files, or if it is a problem with the forum software.  As a test, I have typed this message in the message box, and found it would not preview the entire text.  There is a basic problem with creating paragraphs by multiple "enter" commands that can be flaky. *   P.S.  When I posted the above, formatted in triple spaced paragraphs, 10 pt. Verdana, it displated with no paragraph spacing, and 8 pt. Verdana.  I have edited a few times to add more paragraph spacing.  I have also found that the forum seems to consistently reduce the text size by one step between preview and posting.  This is being composed in 12 pt., and it will post in 10 pt. * P.P.S.  I have made several attempts to get this to format with spaces between paragraphs to no avail.  So I tried a technique that I have used when fighting to get PDFs to format.  This message has always previewed with the format, but loses it upon posting.  It also previews with 12 pt. font, and posts with 10 pt.
