agilebritOH GOD I HATE WIDOW/ORPHAN CONTROL WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS AND WISH TO KILL IT WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS. WHY WHY WHY CAN I NOT TURN THIS SHIT OFF AND HAVE IT ACTUALLY STICK???
I thought OpenOffice was supposed to NOT SUCK. Why can I not highlight an entire manuscript and turn that off??? WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
And, yes, I've tried copy/pasting the thing into a fresh doc. It saves the formatting, including the ever-cursed widow/orphan control. When I copy/paste as raw text, it strips my underlining and left-justifies my centered scene break thingies. This is BAD in a 121K-word document.
I can't win here, can I?
Maybe I'll load Wordperfect and see if I have better luck with that. Because this is driving me crazier than, probably, it should. Behold my OCD. ARGH.
Also, in case anyone missed it last night, the new issue of Darwin's Evolutions with my story in it is available for purchase or download. /pimp
