Copying Text from Word document converts consecutive lines into separate paragraphs.
When copying formatted text from a Word document into a Compose-Window of Thunderbird the formatting no longer (since 52.1.1) is conserved. Consecutive lines are now separated with a certain amount of spacing, as each pasted line is now a "paragraph" instead of "body text"/"normal text".
Unchecking the box "Use Fomat \"Paragraph\" instead of \"Normal Text\"" under "General Settings/Compose/General" did not help.
This is quite bad for us, as we are using word documents as templates for our emails.

HTML has a
tag that is the line break, but I do not recall seeing a line break in Word. Pressing of enter inserts a paragraph break. A little google time indicates you must press Shift+ Enter to insert a line break in Word.
Are your word documents formatted with Shift enter or enter which would insert explicit paragraphs.

Given the amount of garbage in every word paste, including the entire contents of the word normal.dot file it is little surprise word users have trouble converting paper documents to HTML. This is exacerbated by the way word fails dismally on some fronts in the conversion to HTML. (that is done by word when placing the information on the clipboard, not by Thunderbird.
Have you tried using HTML documents or Thunderbird templates as templates instead of shoe horning a product that is poorly suited to the job into the equation.
No, we yet ave not tried to do that, and should we not find a way to return to the previous behaviour of the Compose-window we sure will be forced to do that.
Anyway, up to the previous version the formatting was fine. I know need to find out whether this new behaviour, the conversion of consecutive lines to consecutive paragraphs, is intended.

Hello Matt. Indeed a closer look at the word documents revealed that they had paragraph-markings at the end of each line. So, the new formatting behaviour of thunderbird appears to be rather correct (depending on how you would define the format of a new paragraph).
Thanks a lot for your input, you have been very helpful.
