I am carefully reading the Style Guide for Smashwords, and if you experienced writers will indulge me for a moment, I'd like to relate a problematic first experience.
Mark Coker's very first instruction in formatting Word for Smashwords is to activate "show/hide" or the "reverse P thingy" as he calls it to indicate paragraph breaks.
I did this thinking it would only apply to the document that I intend to publish as a book. Instead the pilcrow symbol assaulted all of the hundreds of Word documents in my computer, including letters to friends, journaling, casual writing, etc.
Is there any way to make Mark Coker's formatting suggestions apply ONLY to the document that i wish to publish through Smashwords.
