Kim - I had to remove the first comment you refered to as the 'above message'... I think the system was not supressing the line it was parsing it as HTML that was part of the page so the page layout was being altered. In any case your suggestion: "I also had problems pasting the html in example one, but that went better after turning off the rich-text editor." is a good one... Remember that the Rich Text Editor is really there for you to type in plain text and let it convet things to HTML for you, it is not really designed to allow you to paste in HTML...
