How to send a long post

About a year ago, I tried to copy out a very long Radio Times interview by Bill Owen and Peter Sallis from 1992 celebrating (wrongly) 21 years of the show.

By the time I finished copying it all out, I was evidently 'out of time', and the post didn't get sent to the forum.

(I calmed down eventually!)

If I was to attempt this again (as I don't think this interview has even been published on the forum), is there a better way of doing it?

Or type it in something like a word document then copy and paste it into the Thread
 
That sounds like a great interview to see. If you are willing to post that again wstol, I (as well as others I am sure) would really enjoy reading it.

Cheers,
Rick
 
It would be better if you edited it in an ordinary text editor (I think M$ Windows uses something called "Notepad") Using something like Word or other fully fledged word processor would also embed all the unwanted garbage that M$ apps insists on adding, like formatting and text encoding etc.
Using Notepad would save about 20% of space/size.
 
Not sure about a long post but in my callow youth working in a Tailor's shop I recall being sent to several departments within the shop where I was to ask for a long stand . In my naiveness I fell for it in every department thinking it was needed to hang overcoats on , of course the guys knew all about it so they waited a few minutes came back and said they didn't have any in their Department and that I should try Bespoke etc .:)

Not sure I have an equivalent to that on an Apple, will have to have alook. Trouble is when I do that I find all sorts of strange things I would rather not know about!

On my Apple I use 'Textedit', not as clean as say 'UltraEdit', but will comfortably do the job.
