I've tried to find a solution to this problem, but I can't find any. Can anyone help me?



Seems it just turns line breaks into regular spaces

That's strange.
Sounds like Win7 isn't copying the text formatting that deals with paragraph breaks into the clipboard. Test it on wordpad, office word, and anything else you can think of. Also try copying text from one word program to another instead of from the web. If you do all that and you're still not copying the paragraph breaks, then there's most likely an issue with Win7's clipboard functionality.
I don't know if Win7 has editable settings for its clipboard, but if not, you may be screwed.
