with the note:

“ Your file contains editor's remarks. Please remove them and resubmit the file!”

I read through the stickys above and didn’t see this mentioned. Anyone care to educate me?

I've never seen that message before. Did you submit by pasting text or uploading a doc, docx or rtf?

My first thought is if you uploaded a document you had show formatting marks (or whatever your preferred software calls it) turned on. So•every•space•has a•between•words.¶

¶And new paragraph marks show up as well.

If that's the case simply turn that off and resubmit, or just paste your text into the story field and that should strip those formatting marks.

submitted as .doc, same as other ones already published. I think i figured it out, I had inserted comments so I wouldnt forget to edit certain things and add certain tags. I removed them and resubnitted. Here’s hoping.

Glad you figured it out.
