zil Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Sometimes hitting enter twice in a row splits the quote. Sometimes it puts in multiple hard returns. If it puts in multiple hard returns, moving the cursor back to the end of the line where you started hitting enter, and doing it twice more will definitely split the quote. If I get more time, I may try to figure out why hitting enter twice doesn't always do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is text sitting in front of the cursor, that's the thing that prevents it from splitting the quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always just selected the bit, quoted it, typed; selected the next bit, quoted it, typed; etc. Now I'll do this when I want to respond "in-line" to a large block of text.

The "+" sign next to "Quote" at the bottom is the multi-quote function. Give it a whirl. I think you'll find it easier to use than what you've been doing.

Lindy Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 "Joy to the world, the Lord is come;". sounds Christmas to me. "Let earth receive her King!" Sounds Christmas to me. "Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,". Ditto "And (Heaven) Saints and (nature) angels sing", ditto"And (Heaven) Saints and (nature) angels sing," dittoAnd (Heaven) Saints, and (nature) Saints and angels sing" ditto to the fourth. I understand the discussions about Christmas vs Second Coming. But my two cents is that the very first verse of the song is what I hear most often sang during the Christmas season. The Lord has been born! Let us receive Him..... our King! Let us all bring Him into our hearts and join Heaven and the entire world in singing our joy and love for Him! I will sing Joy to the World as a Christmas song, and will be happy to join Heaven, nature, saints and angels at His Second Coming too! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Ross Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I see the first verse as being a hopeful description of His birth and His second coming - dual meaning. And thus we revere it as a Christmas anthem in the same way that we revere the song We Thank Thee O God For a Prophet as a tribute to our living prophet. You may have already noticed that the only reference to a prophet in that hymn is found in the first few words. Yet it still inspires gratitude for a prophet.
