Sometimes I have the same problem with text not “holding” formatting.
It means that you somehow picked up HTML code that is not displayed but impacts the formatting - if you have even one word or line break that has HTML formatting, then the entire document must be formatted or it takes the non-shape of a blob.
But how to remove html code that you can’t see? :)
Not sure but sometimes deleting the whole thing and starting over helps. Sometimes that doesn’t work so I put paragraph returns in HTML at the end of each para (If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em).
I’ve just simply deleted the file folder before posting.
that little bugger is the HTML formatted item.
re: formatting -
check the text you copied in or wrote in and look for
a group of symbols like (^($)&_)^
or little squares
remove them and the text is cleared and formatted
