I tried to upload a splinter cell faq this aft and got a message stating that
1. Line 1 was 92 characters, (trailing spaces)
2. Line 948 was 81 characters and (trailing spaces)

I've used the same saved MS Word format for all of my faqs and don't understand what the message means.

I pulled it rechecked both lines and both count at 79 characters whether they're in notepad or word.

Thanks in advance any help will be greatly appreciated

Trailing spaces indicates that there are invisible spaces at the end of lines when you, for example, turn off Word Wrap in Notepad. The only way to find them is to select over them, which makes them blue - hitting CTRL and A at the same time selects all of the text in the document and should be sufficient for this task. You must have each line at or under 80 characters (named columns in Notepad).
