I was wondering whether it’s possible to format a piece of work other than just the ‘italics’, ‘bold’, and ‘underlined’. I post on the Poetry 2 forum and usually type my poems out in Word and then paste over to the submission page. I then have to go into the piece and add any required brackets and ‘i’, ‘b’, or ‘u’. No problem there, but I now want to post a piece which is in the form of a kind of ‘script’ with the speakers’ names, then a regular indent before the speech part. Is it possible to add such spaces? Come to that, is it possible to change font, font size, and/or colour within a piece?

You can do it using styles. If you go to the snowbooks blog here, Emma has done a series of very useful tutorials on how to use them:

Thanks Jess - just off to look at them now

I think you mean within WriteWords? The scriptwriters can upload rtf files like here
