I am able to copy and paste it into an html document which I will upload on to the Sri Lanka Genealogy Website under LISTS Section on Thursday. Fazli -----Original Message----- From: srilanka-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:srilanka-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of rozmccutcheon@lineone.net Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 11:21 PM To: srilanka@rootsweb.com Subject: [SRILANKA] Dutch Widows - part one Am much enjoying the increased correspondence on the list recently - & especially appreciate the contributions of Coreen & Larry. When I sent a block from the Colombo Journal 1833 recently, I had many replies. Many were very interested in the List of Widows I'd noted from Jan 16th, & some offered to defray the cost of copying, as it seems the list is unavailable elsewhere in its entirety. I will paste in below the first section, - entries 1 to 100. I've prepared it in rtf, where it looks beautiful, but I know that when I send it, it will all squash together. Can anyone send me a brief guide on how to paste in text as it was orginally prepared, - please?!
