Help!!! I'll just trying to post my first story and I need a bit of technical advice (not even sure if this is the best bit of the forum to ask this question but anywhoo..)
I wrote my story in Word and it contains basic formating, ie the use of italics and bold. I've just copied and pasted the first chapter but can't see the formatting. How can I go about getting it back in before I post?

Hope someone can help!

I saw you already posted but in case you didn't figure it out:

if you want something italicized put it between <i> and </i>
if you want something bold put it between <b> and </b>

In other words, you have to use the html markup. If there is an easier way, maybe someone else knows it.

Not too worried if it's totally the correct part of the forum so long as it's appropriate.

But don't double post. That's just annoying.

Cheers Smile
