Is there a method by which the "message" can be done offline in 'word' or ' write' and then pasted in a "new post"?
The reason I ask is, AOL frequently cuts me of in the middle of writing the message and I must start all over again!

In a word, "Yes."

I often compose my posts in Word, run 'em through the spell check (always a good idea) then copy and paste them into the TFL window.

If you're not sure how to do that, look under your "Edit" menu.

First highlight the text in Word, select "Copy" from the "Edit" menu, click onto your browser and look for the cursor in the TFL text window. Then you just select "paste" from the "Edit" menu and your words should appear.

Hope this helps.

You can use shortcut keys instead of the Edit Menu in Windows.

To Copy use: Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert
To Paste use: Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert

Shortcut keys seem faster to me, once you get used to them.
