Just when I thought I had the mouseover-the-Chinese thing down...I have discovered that if I use a phrase, only one word shows up on the mouseover. So I ended up running all the English words together in the phrase to make it one long word, and that seems to work (see Ch. 5 in my fic for a couple examples). Any ideas?

There has been a problem from time to time with long phrases, but not always. I have whole paragraphs that work right at the beginning of Easy Tickets Chapter 6

I'm going to try pasting the formatting of that here, so you can copy and edit it for yourself. hit reply with quote and you should see the formatting.

The p in brackets and all the & nbsp crap - if they show up - are just to get the paragraphs indented. I'm heading out to pick up lunch - I'll look at your fic when I get back, and I'll PM you if it doesn't work here!

EDIT: OK, the & nbsp don't show, but the p and br in brackets are just line breaks. Take those out and use the rest if you want.

I find that copying and pasting formatting that works is the only way to be sure of it working again - especially with how I type LOL!

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

Mal4prez, you're so good!
You should really do a little tutorial on this in the Blue Sun Room forum so it doesn't get bumped off right away and writers can reference it whenever they need it. Please?

Hee-hee! Fun! I'll start a thread about fic formatting on Monday. It's a good idea - I wasn't able to do a few things I wanted in my last fic, it'd be good to pool all our expertise.
