Composing 'off line'
PANAMA Started conversation May 2, 2001
Anna,
I hope that you can save me a lot of flummoxing around in the guide only to find out what I want to do can't be done.
What I want to do is compose my brilliant bits of prose off line then 'attach' them after logging on. Is it possible to do this or am I tied to the guide's pages in order to enter every letter.
I look forward to your reply and advice.

Hi Panama,
It's no problem composing off-line. Simply write what you'd like to in either a text editor (like BBEdit, WordPad or UltraEdit) or in a word processing package (like MS Word, though this can do slightly iffy things to characters sometimes). Then when you next come along to h2g2, create a new entry and paste the lot in. If you'd like to edit what you've already written, click on the edit button next to the entry you'd like to edit, copy everything back into, say, MS Word, edit it, then paste it back in.
Will be lovely to see your entries when they come up 
Anna
