I'm pasting in un-formatted text, straight from Notepad. If I type something in the Custom Text screen, the text appears as it should: Zoomed in, readable, and works fine. On the other hand, when I paste in text from Notepad, the text is zoomed out far, and to read it users have to zoom in. It is not formatted to fit my device's screen properly. This bug has occurred since I started using BuzzTouch and has yet to be fixed, although I believe people have posted about it before. (Search feature can only search title's so it's kinda hard to tell). Are there any known fixes to this? All I want to do is copy and paste text into a "Custom HTML, Text" screen and it be formatted properly to fit the devices screen. Thank you Title Comments Every time I paste text into a "Custom HTML, Text" screen, the text is not formatted properly when viewed on a device.

Here's how: Use this HTML code: <p> <title></title> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <meta content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=2.0; user-scalable=1;" name="viewport" /> <style type="text/css"> html{background-color:transparent;height:100%;width:100%;} body{background-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;font-family:helvetica;} img{border:0px;} </style> Text Goes here</p> <p> </p> Where it says "Text Goes here", put your text. Remember that you must <br> and format your text for HTML. I'd just suggest copying and pasting the above code in DreamWeaver and just paste in the text you want. Sorry if I didn't make myself very clear, I really don't know much about what I'm doing (I'm not that knowledgeable on HTML and don't know much about DreamWeaver). Let me know if you need some help. Regardless, the Custom HTML/text screen is bugged when copying and pasting in text, even if it is plain non-formatted text. Thanks Comments Fixed it (kinda).

The head and body (which aren't seperated, opened or closed) are wrapped in a p tag. Very odd. It should look something like this: <html> <head> <title></title> <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <meta content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=2.0; user-scalable=1;" name="viewport" /> <style type="text/css"> html{background-color:transparent;height:100%;width:100%;} body{background-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;font-family:helvetica;} img{border:0px;} </style> </head> <body> <p>Text Goes here</p> </body> </html> Comments Is that the code that's hard coded into the customhtml template?

Apparently, pasting in your own thing over what's there just completely removes it and replaces it with completely un-formatted HTML, thus causing incorrect formatting on devices.
