I humbly request help with my first story

[fgarvb1]

Please help.! i have never tried writing anything like this before.

why, why did i sleep during english and lit. class.?

I need an editor who is not subject to laughing themselves to death.

This story titled date surprise has light bondage, m-f anal sex and well anything else in there i think is normal anyway.

note: as any kind of writer i suck. Is anyone willing to undertake this editing job.?

If it's in Word 97 or Word 2000 format, send it to me. I haave aanother story ahead of yours if you send it right now, so it will take at least a week.

Re: Weird Harold i have not a clue

they probably look very mucch like "Rough Draft" format file on the screen, but they have the capability to show both what the client typed, and what the editor typed, with color coding and a toolbar that allows the client tto choose which version to accept. (on a change by change basis instead of all or nothing.)

For a writer in your situation, I won't usually edit unless I can use tht capability to explain what was changed and why. Any other method I've tried winds up with comments getting left in the file because the client can't find and remove all of them efficiently.

Does Rough Draft have the capability to compare two versions of file?

i do not think so. however i have word 2000 on disk if it is not an my computer. i will open it in word 2000 and save it to a floppy for transfering. it may be tomorrow before i do all of that.

Just attach it to an e-mail andd send it to me. You don't necesssaaryly have to have it to floppy to traansfer it to me.

Saving Options

It would shock me if Rough Draft, or any word processor these days, did not have the ability to save to Rich-Text Format (*.rtf) format, which is viewable by most, if not all, word processors with little or no degradation in terms of formatting.

Hope that helps a little.

The basic formatting and font information ddoes indeed transfer well with RTF. The problem here, is the abiliy to track changes and comments.

For example, WordPad has no problems at all reading a MSWord prodduced RTF file with editing information in it. It does NOT however display or allow any manipulation of the extra information.
