Hi all.
I'm looking to upload a word file for an upcoming story. I've only ever copied/pasted in the submission box before, but I'm looking to do an illustrated story. (yes, I've read the guidelines on illustrations. Yes, I also know they take ages to be posted, it will take me ages to write/draw anyway, no rush.) It seems uploading a word doc would be far less work for the site than emailing my drawings to the site and having them insert them into my story at the required places, and less prone to error.
Imagine for a moment I am an idiot and know nothing about this, what do I need to know re formatting? Is there an "idiot's guide" you could link me to please?
Currently I write with all the formatting typed in as I go, eg I'll type the coding in the <> marks as I write when I need italics or bold etc. Do I still still do this if I'm writing in word? Or will I have to go through and delete these? (Yes, I did wait until I was about 6k words into the story before looking into this, haha)
Thanks for any advice.
