After you've uploaded your story and filled in all the necessary information on the first page, press the "Preview&Publish" button at the bottom right of the page.

If you've uploaded it as a draft and not a doc, down at the bottom of the page is a button 'Preview and Submit' or something like that. Press that button, and you'll get a view of what the published story will look like. Then you have two choices, save and continue working on the story or publish. You can edit only buy hitting the save and continue working button.

I believe it's in edit mode when you can make changes. It helps to stay in that until near submission, so you don't have to toggle back and forth a lot. I hope jimplx can understand what I'm talking about.

You paste your story into the box and then hit preview (as many times as your want) before you hit the actual submit.

Actually the submission's box starts off in "edit mode" where you can make changes, and then it can be put into "preview mode" where you can see the results. However, to make changes. you have to go back to edit. It easier to just see it compared with my attempts to describe it.
In edit mode, you can see any HTML coding, like this: <i>My love is bigger than a Honda.</i> In preview, the text will actually be in italics, but the tags will not be visible and thus you have to go back to change them.
