I found a story in some website and wanted to rebuild it from the ground up, however when I copy it to Choya it looks like this: "Body on the bed and spreads his knees a bit further apart for comfort. 'He Doesn't get out because he works so much for us, so he doesn't have many Friends, so he doesn't have hobbies. Aren't you grateful? Don't you wanna" basically it has a large space and also looks like it takes only half a page. in the original website it looks like this: "body on the bed and spreads his knees a bit further apart for comfort. 'He doesn't get out because he works so much for us, so he doesn't have many friends, so he doesn't have hobbies. Aren't you grateful? Don't you wanna" it's still half a page but apparently less of a problem. I tried to copy this into word or anything else first, and then paste into choya, but that doesn't change the large spacing. is there an option in word I am missing? noticed I can select H2 or H3 in format (choya website) but would prefer to keep original text format with the correct spacing)
I guess you have the RTE option activated which should cause a new paragraph on every line break. So it seems the source has line breaks on every line which causes fixed formatting. Please make sure to have the original author's permission to copy/plagiarize their work and add a note about it within your story.
There is an option "Use the rich text editor to create and edit chapters" on the Settings page. If it is deactivated, you can use direct markdown formatting which is also used to finally save the chapter. If you want to create italics, you'd have to enclose it in single asterisks like *italics* or underscores _italics_. For bold, you'd need two asterisks or underscores like **bold** or __bold__. As the main reason should be the line break, you could also just remove the line break which should solve both problems.
removing "Use Rich text Editor" solved the problem of the spacing, now if I figure out how to remove the "cut in half page" part I would be golden. basically in word it's a full page, but because the story was written in half page format I'm not sure how to make everything more wide (take the entire page space)
I'd guess that it wouldn't take the whole width in Word if you change to landscape format. So just remove the line breaks. "body on the bed and spreads his knees a bit further apart for comfort. 'He doesn't get out because he works so much for us, so he doesn't have many friends, so he doesn't have hobbies. Aren't you grateful? Don't you wanna" I mean, it is like breaking the source at some point which makes it look like block format like "body on the bed and spreads his knees a bit further apart for comfort. 'He doesn't get out because he works so much for us, so he doesn't have many friends, so he doesn't have hobbies. Aren't you grateful? Don't you wanna"
pressing ctrl+H while having the entire page selected and putting "^p" in "find what" and then pressing "replace all" did it. mm... actually this doesn't just removes the half page writing style, but basically removes the enter button from the written content XD (everything is connected where there used to be an "enter") ha... well not exactly a good fix.
