Question re Word 2007
Dec. 1st, 2013 06:57 pmI've spent a few hours this afternoon working on the final story in my Spike/Giles season 7 series (which needs an overall title for when I post it to A03 - any suggestions welcome), which has involved some bits and pieces of re-writing, including deleting an entire scene and coping with the fall out from that later in the story.
But, long and short of it, I'm going to read it through one final time, then it's ready to post. Before that, I need some help, though.
My laptop runs Windows 7 and I have Word 2007 installed. I like Word 2007 fine. But whenever I Select All, Copy and Paste into LJ, the text never includes paragraph breaks. I don't know why not. When I used to post fic on my old laptop (which ran XP, and had an older version of Word), the paragraph breaks would copy and paste just fine.
But I can't work out how to get them to do that with Word 2007, and so have to spend ages whenever I post a fic to LJ going through it and putting in the paragraph breaks manually - which is fine if it's just a drabble or ficlet for![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
sb_fag_ends, but not so clever if it's a long story. Doing that for the penultimate part of the Spike/Giles series the other week took me ages, and was so frustrating, as I'm sure there's a very simple thing you do to make sure the paragraph breaks copy and paste too.
Help? Please? Pretty please?
