When you reply email or facebook message, do you write in MS Word first?

i write my messages directly in the message box. i regret to hear that you have lost your posts in the past. :( that sounds extremely annoying. since i haven't experienced problems typing directly in the message i have not had to use MS Word. have a very good day!

hello wondericequeen when i go to post a message like that onto Facebook's website, i normally just post directly onto the website. i really haven't ever had a problem loosing my information like that before, but i have had that happen as well, and then when i try to go back and reply the second time around, i can never get it the same as i had typed it the first time. lol but i have never thought to use microsoft word before to type out a message and save it, and that way you know that you are not going to have to re-type something. lol but alot of time, i will copy my post and then i will have it saved like that if i do loose the first go around, then i can paste my response onto the second post. take care and have a beautiful evening.

If i am responding to a comment like this, or something on another site, I just respon right in the comment window. If i am writing a long e-mail and I'm worried about the computer crashing, or an article that I want to put up on Gather that's really long and complex, I'll write it in a word processor first.

Hello. I just write directly into myLot. But I have also had the experience of my message disappearing after I have it all typed out. And boy, is that ever annoying! Maybe I should try typing it in Word. But then, I'd have to take the time to cut and paste.

I used to do that before coming to mylot...but mylot has given me so much practice in writing that I am much more confident to write directly into the email. There is one exception though, if I am writing an official letter, for business for example I'll do my first draft in Word, then when i think it is as close to perfect as I can get it then I'll copy and past it into my email.

Yeah I write directly to the text field and then copy what I wrote before I hit send. I learnt that after typing a couple of immensly long winded emails, only to accidentally delete them before they had been sent. There's nothing more frustrating then spending a good half hour typing up something, only to lose it all and have to start over.
