    Anyone out there know why when I upload a Word doc, it starts to get jumbled up? My print version comes out fine, but it's when I try and upload the adventure to something like Google Docs or Box.com that the later half of my doc gets all jumbled, photos overlapping text or no longer centered on the page. :?:

    Is the downloaded file the exact same as the uploaded one? Could those services be converting or "standardizing" the doc to a different Word version (2003 vs 2010), file format revision (doc vs docx or docm), or perhaps even a proprietary format - any of which might not be properly placing all the elements?

    I thinK i may have it worked out now. I converted the word doc to a PDF format and things seem to look the way they should ;)

    Yeah, PDFs are pretty stable file formats.
