Why does the shape of my WS change when I upload it?
|
Hello. I recently uploaded some WS and when I check how they look they seem to change its sahpes. There appear question marks (that are not in original text), the whole shape seems to be different with objects I put in. But when I download the WS there seem to be no mistakes. Does anybody have the same problem? Why does this happen?

Sometimes this happens because the preview here has a limited amount of fonts. It has happened to me, too - I choose such nice fonts, and then - the boring official Ariel. But everything is ok when it �s downloaded. Perhaps you can make a note of it in your description of your ws, or do as I do - use simple fonts for uploading - everybody edits the downloaded material anyway. Yes, we are all visual creatures, but ultimately - it �s the quality of content which is important.

I solved this problem adopting Ariel for all my works. If I use another one in the ws, I choose the option to save embedding fonts. The document will be a little bit heavier but they won �t change after uploading.
If the problem is with the title, instead of just inserting it, I insert, print screen, open a pic editor (I use irfanview) and cut in the size I �ll use, so insert it again in the document as an image. It won �t change either.
For moving pics, I select all of them and group them (I �m not sure the word to use because my word editor is in Portuguese) so they won �t move after uploading.
Hope these tips help you, I learned them here from wiser members! LOL
