Paragraph formatting lost

I recently embellished a story at LushStories. I did it by writing my embellishment in MS Word, doing a Ctrl-A in word to select all my text, doing a Ctrl-C to copy all my text, and in the LushStories embellishment window doing a Ctrl-V to paste in my text.

Everything looked good--there were blank lines between paragraphs--until I clicked the Embellish button to upload my embellishment. Then, all my double carriage returns that separated paragraphs disappeared, and all my sentences, regardless of which paragraphs they were in, ran together.

This is strange, because I submitted one story to LushStories, I believe I did it the way I described, and my paragraph formatting was retained.

I opened my Word file in a binary editor and saw that each paragraph was indeed separated by two carriage return characters (Hex 0D). If anyone has had this problem and solved it please let me know what you did. I sent a note to Help-Contact Us, but I did not receive a response.

Word is the villain, and on the story submission form, there is an option that will strip all the junk coding from Word for the story. You have no idea of the problems that stories cut and pasted from a Word file have caused here, and still do!

Ain't a dang thing that can be done about it, baby, so it's best to avoid embellishing anyone else's stories from now on until the end of time.
Formatting won't be retained in embellishments no matter how they're input. Stripping the Word coding won't help.

Perhaps it's set up that way intentionally to discourage story-length embellishments.

Or you could just use a basic text editor to avoid any hidden or non-standard formatting.


But I didn't know, as magnificent1rascal has pointed out, that embellishments do not keep any formatting.
Thousands of user submitted stories removed from the site. You are nothing without your users or their freely submitted stories.
There are issues with the embellishment code, the entire feature is going to be phased out.

I have seen perhaps half a dozen embellishments in over 4 years, it isn't a popular feature and will be removed.
