I have found that you can high light the text in word or Notepad and hit Ctrl C to copy then in FG
Click on Story - create a new story - then instead of typing anything in - hit Ctrl V to paste.

I discovered this by accident actually. I am so use to doing this in other programs, I automatically did this and it workded.
FG does not have any cut and past options that I have found so the Ctlr V to paste is the best way I have done it.

You can also edit the file, but I dont know how to do that.

ThanksThere was at one time a utility that someone created to convert a word doc to xml for FG. Do a search in the forums and hopefully it is still there.

YAY Kimba!

The CTRL-V works!!!

I typically used Shift-Insert and didnt think of the Ctrl-V but it definitely worked

THANK YOU
