Copy from Word into editor as instructed looks okay (except font and size), but view public content (unpublished and published) has errors such as placing an italized word on the next line by itself as a new paragraph.
Sounds like a bug. Send it to SOLN.

I don't know what SOLN means. I've been looking around for a HELP button of some sort.
You beter figure out real quick what SolN means! 
Hint: Look up two posts from this one, and you'll see the face of SolN, the head man.

italicized in Word and cut/paste into the TNBW editor; but save or published comes with an added carriage return and sometimes font change
Hi Charles,
Nice to meet you. Can you send me the Word document and answer the following questions:
- Are you using a PC or a Mac?
- What browser are you using.
Email the document to snasisi (at) thenextbigwriter.com.
Thanks,
Sol
Whereas when I copy from OpenOffice I lose italics and often get two tildes on an initial line. Browser is IE. I'll send you the file I most recently put up here.

Interesting . . . I was using IE8 and was frustrated that the font was not what I wanted -- invariant no matter what I created in the editor, but when I use Chrome, the font is right but I get the new paragraphs after every italicized word. I use PC. I will email the Word document.

Following up on this. It does not matter if the text is copied from Word. I copied the text from Word to Notepad (plain ASCII) then copied that into TNBW editor, then (painfully) edited the text back to what it should look like, and all italicized words are followed by an incorrectly inserted new paragraph, and Blockquote also does not work properly for indentation and lacks italicization.
Charles, I just sent you an email. Let me know what type of computer and browser you are using.
I have the same trouble copying from Word. Two tildes on first line, don't kow about italics, didn't know we could choose a font/size. To copy, I just use control-v, instead of the right-click. The markings are minor, so I just fixed them after I copied my work. To tell you the truth, I just thought it might be my really, really old Epic laptop. JP
Charles, I just sent you an email. Let me know what type of computer and browser you are using.
This is what I emailed:
subject: any cut/paste into <> TNBW editor
PC WIN7 IE8 and Chrome > new paragraph after italicized words and faulty blockquote

correction: IE11
It occurs if I try to control the font type and size in the TNBW editor or increase the font size in the TNBW published display higher than the smallest (which I can’t read)

Okay, I think I have narrowed it down to a faulty increase font size in the final TNBW published display. If I increase the font to a huge 20 before, in the editor before publishing, the final text is readable to me, but the increase in sized font in the displayer still produces faulty results, and the blockquote doesn't work. The huge default font might look strange on someone else's display and can't be reduced for them.
Sol said he put a test chapter up for me but I haven't found it. The email address he sent from rejects replies, and I haven't heard back from him on the reply I sent to the address he gives here.
Sol, tell me where to look and I'll go over the chapter in fine detail.

Chapter received, review complete. I did it inline because, although it will make it harder to read, for this sort of thing the ability to go to the marked text is ideal. (Hint, hint ...)
If it didn't go through for some reason, please let me know. It's interesting that the -first- centering operation worked, but not subsequent centerings.
Okay, now the status has gone from not working perfectly to not working at all. The text imported is not at all Word embedded text (with errors) but plain ASCII.
