Still having problems?
Not all browsers are equal... Despite its ubiquity, earlier versions of Internet Explorer were particularly problematic having bugs in the way they ran the code that makes the text editor - at least in some versions of Internet Explorer - yuk!
Thankfully, Microsoft listened to the online community and Internet Explorer 8 is a much improved browser - well done Microsoft! Upgrade now!
Here are some tips to solve Internet Explorers problems:
1. Upgrade your version of Internet Explorer to the latest version - currently Internet Explorer 8 - it is great!
2. Type your list directly into the editor - do not paste into it.
3. Use the ENTER button on your keyboard to create new lines (not CNTRL-ENTER)
