Hi Shannon, Generally, there's nothing wrong with editing with Word. There are just some things it does that aren't wonderful for the purpose of editing books. Word is expecting users to do things like write letters and papers and business documents as well as web pages. It can handle advanced formatting, and sometimes it's being advanced when you want it to be simple and just leave your document alone. <grin> It may add or change formatting in an undesirable way without your knowledge or permission.
