Whenever possible, we recommend importing your finished, final manuscript from .docx format rather than copying and pasting individual chapters, pages, or sections. This is because pasting from other programs will often bring foreign coding with it, causing odd formatting issues and sometimes preventing export capabilities. We recommend importing your manuscript as a pre-formatted docx using this guide: Prepare your Docx for Atticus.
If you do find yourself needing to paste a section into Atticus, we recommend pasting without formatting.
Windows Keyboard Shortcut: Press CTRL+ SHIFT + V
Mac Keyboard Shortcut: Press CMD + SHIFT + V
Right Click: choose “paste as plain text” or “paste without formatting”
This should clear up the formatting issues but you will have to go back and reapply any special formatting you may want, such as URLs, italicized or bolded text, etc.
