Hi, new to the forum and looking for a bit of help (surprise!). I'm going through the submission to premium process and have been asked to remove solid separator bars. Thing is I don't know what they are nor can I find out what they are by searching the internet! I know the style guide says don't use them but that's all I can find. My source document is MS Word 2007.
Cheers, Lol

Were you trying to create a sequence/paragraph separator? I'm wondering if perhaps you created a line i.e. underscores, then hit a return/enter? If autoformat was turned on it would produce, magically, a thick line... Julie.

Hi Julie, no I haven't used any underscores anywhere in the document, or underlining. I have page breaks inserted, could tht be what they mean?
Thanks, Lol

Lol, if you have any footnotes or endnotes then MSWord adds those as a text separator. Read MSOffice instructions on how to change or remove them.

Good thinking, Ted. Lol, I've used page breaks before without any dramas, so have no idea what's going on. Sorry I can't help further. Have you emailed Smashwords for assistance? Julie.

@ted - I haven't used any footnotes etc and when opening the document the option to "show notes" is greyed out.
@julie - I emailed them some days ago and am just waiting for a reply.
This is the message showing on my dashboard:
"Please remove all solid separator bars or borders within your book. ||| When you're finished correcting your book, go to Dashboard: 'upload new version' to upload the new version. Thanks."
Confuesd!

Just a big thank you to Julie for her help formatting the book so far. I've just had to amend some of the styles used and re-submitted, so fingers crossed. Many thanks once again.
