Help with format question, please.

[A.E.]

All right, so my concern here is that when I formatted the book according to how Smashwords wants it to look, it still treats the hard returns as a cue to create new pages for some obscure reason. Any tips on how I do to avoid that? Can't seem to get any information from Smashwords itself.

Thanks in advance.

Did you do a full wipe on the coding before you began the whole formatting process?

Hm, I'm not really sure what you mean with a 'full wipe', Jenycka, but I nucleared the whole document and spent three nights going through the text exactly how the Smashwords' guide said that it should be done - so either they're wrong or I made a mistake somewhere, but that last thing seems so farfetched so I don't know if I believe it... :-P

Yes, I mean the nuclear. I really don't know why it would do that then. Have you contacted Smashwords Customer Service? They generally tend to be very friendly and easy to work with.

Not yet, trying to find the answer in their FAQ. It might be that I used a too big font on the headings, but I don't understand why it should react by creating new pages because of that. I'm so confused - and stressed-out, since we're leaving for Europe on Saturday and need to get this done before, so it's all ready for the promo. Ah well... It'll be solved somehow, I'm sure...

Thanks for the help. That's really appreciated. <3

That's okay, sweetheart. I think I'm on to something here. Found some consistent patterns that I'm trying to solve. :-)

Okay, this seems to be the problem, but it doesn't matter whether or not I have this box checked. It still creates the problem, and there seems to be no answer to how to fix it. I'm at loss...

By a "hard return" for you mean a line feed? (That's shift+enter in Word.)

Hm... I didn't know that... It's just the enter key. I thought that was called a hard return... *lol*
