Same as Jax has mentioned, i dont have the "torn paper" icon indicating compatibility view or not.

So it must be a Ancestry problem.All other sites i use shows the icon

I have 2 PCs
One works on window7 the other is a MAC.
If I copy and paste stuff from Ancestry using theWindows7 one...I get those gaps too, but it doesn't happen with the MAC?
Will ask my resident Techno Geek... when she comes downstairs for dinner!

Edit:
Just tested The Ancestry problem theory but copying and pasting via the MAC is still fine.

I've just updated IE to version 10 and when I copy & paste, I have big gaps between the text lines :-S

I have entered it onto the compatibility view, along with Ancestry

I just knew I would have problems with the update

Thanks all
