@lexstarwalker Final (?) followup. I have taken the time to create my styles and style sets, and converted my GoogleDoc to Word, which I'm now storing on OneDrive (which maintains the styles).

The truth is, I was wrong; this is a much better way to work. And the ability to rearrange through the navigation pane is terrific.

Thank you again for doing all the work on the incredibly easy-to-follow directions

I have bookmarked your link and will be passing it along to my writing workshop.

@Teri_Kanefield We are in violent agreement 🤣

Glad you are here, should generate some very interesting conversations.

@lexstarwalker Great, thanks!

I've been leery of using italics since I heard Benjamin Dryer say that one should trust the reader to put the emphasis wherever they choose.

Not sure I believe that, but it has slowed my use of italics. (He also challenged us to write an entire book without the word very!)

Thanks again; I worked my way through your excellent tutorial and will be working with Word and styles from now on.
