Formatting Stories from Word

14 Dec 2009

Is it possible, to be able to upload a story from a Word document and not have to reformat it?

If this is not possible, can it become a possibility?

Thank-you!!!

Living life and enjoying life are two different things... just need to figure out how to do both at the same time to live it right!

Question 1: Nope

Question 2. Probably not w/o a MAJOR technical overhaul.

It is possible, but requires stripping out all those yucky tags word adds to a document.

This change is on my backlog, should get to it sometime in 2010.

Meanwhile, I find copying and pasting from Word into a simple text editor such as Notepad. Then copy from Notepad into Lush should ease some of your pain.

Yes, that works wonderfully, I find.

Copying from an .rtf document in Word to Notepad works good, too.

Next year there will be a new submission text area coming. There's even a button in there to paste from word, which clears all the horrible formatting junk code MS Word puts in.

That should keep everyone happy icon_smile
