Help.

Does anyone know why Word would suddenly make my spacing collapse when I post a story into LJ? The first part is fine, but the stuff I've been editing is just a jumbled mess with no line breaks. While I can fix it by hand, I'd rather know what's up.

I hope you managed to fix it. Word is a tool of the devil!

This reminded me of something I've been thinking of when I read your stories - do you use smart quotes for a reason or is it just Word automatically inserting them? If I just copy and paste a quote from one of your stories to my website the smart quotes makes the coding all wonky so I've always got to remember to replace them with ordinary " and '.

It must be Word adding them because it's nothing I do on purpose.

I wonder if turning smart quote off will solve my issues. It can't hurt to try I guess.

It can never hurt to try. (Word's so evil, adding things all over the place and making the users' lives difficult!)
