I found it easier to compose in Word and then copy/paste into The Back Room.
Sometimes this method will put spurious characters into the text once you\'ve posted your message. If you can remember, press the preview button to check before actually submitting.

It's probably me, but whenever I've tried writing in Word and then copying/pasting, it doesn't work. ie my copy and paste in Word doesn't seem compatible with the AOL one, and I can't move the AOL screen so that I can have Word appearing on the screen at the same time. I am explaining this appallingly, but, if anyone can make head or tail of what I'm saying, could you just let me know if I'm being thick please?

You've probably got both windows expanded to full size which is why you can't see mroe than one at a time, however that doesn't really matter.
Go to word, use the mouse and select all the text. Type Ctrl-c.
Go to the other window, click on it with the mouse and press ctrl-v. - the text should appear...
As if by magic, a door appeared.................

Ok, am testing this right now.

HF: Next time start up AOL, minimise the AOL window, then start up Internet Explorer. Then onwards, use the IE windows for your surfing. Keeping AOL minimised will keep your connection live, but you can then be free to surf independently via IE. Try it and report back.
