This is (one of the reasons) why I write everything in Markdown and export it to Word or PDF with Pandoc. There's no temptation to "fix" the formatting as I go along; it's just text, and I can apply a style sheet after the fact.
- bambax 5y agoYeah, well, ironically enough, working like this makes you a very proficient Word user.
- Wistar 5y agoExactly. Pound it in and then paint on the styling. This is very difficult for some to do. I once found my daughter sobbing over a high school writing assignment in Word because her desire to make the paper look perfect as she wrote was causing the document to asplode.
