    publishing lengthy article

    I am trying to put a book length essay on my website. The "text" box doesnt hold the complete article, so I tried to seperate it into shorter parts, but still some words came out funny. So the font and format change somehow. Is there a better solution than using the text button?

    Are you copying and pasting - from Word for example?

      Hi AJ113,

      Yes I tried to copy and paste from a word file. The text box can only hold certain length of text, and I also lose my orignal format somehow.

      Thanks
      Lin

        You cannot use the formatting from word - it's not the same type of editor. To copy and paste from word, first copy it to notepad, then copy to the text element.

        If there is a change in formating, use only up to where you want the change, then put the next section in another text box.

        If all the text is formatted the same (all centered text or all aligned left or all justified) then you should be able to put it all in one text box. But make sure the page is long enough to accomodate it.
