Will adjustments be made to how a story is added to the site? I'm finding it rather cumbersome at this time. Uploading it as html makes it lose formatting, text means you have to go in and hand-add any formatting using html coding (which is something I'd like to avoid since the person I'm setting this up for isn't very web coding savvy) and it doesn't seem to take docs.

Turn tinyMCE on and use it's paste features.  If you're uploading in html and losing formatting then you probably have nothing in the allowed tags list and the formatting is being stripped because of it.

Bump.  Did you get this figured out?  If there's no reply in a week, this thread will be closed.

Yes I did but are there any plans for making it easier for folks who don't work with HTML to work with this? My people are cutting and pasting their stories in and they are coming out a jumbled mess because it doesn't autoformat and they don't know anything about tags.

Turn tinyMCE on just like I said in the first post.  It's a built in editor on the screen.  It even includes a "Paste from Word" button that handles issues pasting from word in the a web page.

I have it turned on but I don't see anything like a Paste from Word button.

You have to enable it for the site, then you have to enable it in your account. The paste from word option will be near the bottom, looking like a clipboard with a W over it.
