:(

When copying and pasting a story from Microsoft Word onto YWS, I can't get my tabs to transfer as well. I think they're called tabs, at least. Those spaces at the beginning of every paragraph? That make it look neat and clean?

Anyway, I was planning to post my prologue until I realized that I had no idea how to do this. And I tried just pressing the space bar key five times to give the effect, but it doesn't work either.

Anyone willing to help a newbie? *bats eyelashes*

P.S. I hope I posted this in the right spot. Forgive me if I didn't.

Yes, I believe I know what you're speaking of. It's that inch or so indent of each paragraph, yes? Well, YWS doesn't have that formatting. xD

Instead, you can put a space between each paragraph (like you've done and I'm doing) so it's easier to read. There are no indents, however. Apologies. ^_^
I make my own policies.

Post it into one of the fiction threads. It should automatically make your post tabbed. <3

Here's some advice I picked up. Place a few underscores __ like this and set them to white.
"Do? I'll tell you what we'll do! We'll be ready!"

"The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy."
— Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
