Question#1
-----------
I'm about to submit my first story and I have such a dumb-ass problem with MS-Word that it's a bit embarrassing to ask about it. I'm running MS-Word 2000 running on WinXP. I can't exactly go ask my conservative neighbors for help with this.

I intially used to delineate my chapters by running "====" across the page to get a long bold line. Well WORD sometimes would do me a favor (I guess) and turn these into solid lines. After a while WORD would insert these on its own after a variable number of lines on a page. What the ...? It made no sense.

Worse, there appears to be no way to delete them. I can go to options and display the paragraph and tab symbols, but no symbols show up indicating what the extra bold lines are. And like I said, no way to delete them either.

So, if someone knows what's going on, please HELP!!!
I can send the file if you're willing to look at it.
I could use someone to review/edit my story anyway, if anyone's interested. I've looked at it a hundred times and it's a blur to me at this point. It's a fairly light piece, with some f/f content (my favorite!).

Question #2
------------
I have split the story into 6 chapters. Do I send 6 separates files, or does the person receiving stories do the work of splitting the file?

Thanks,
