Writing.Com General Discussion

Along with Whata SpoonStealer 's response, I would note that you can only try to format to what it looks like on your screen, on your device.

But out in the world, there's nearly unlimited combinations of screen and device sizes, from phones, to tablets, to PC, to TV's, etc.

The web itself is not made for viewing consistency in that everything looks identical on all devices. Instead, the web adapts to the screensize it's on.

This is different from something like a format'd PDF whose job is to lock in the visual layout of the writing.

In fact, unless you're using some pretty technical stuff in your Word doc, even your Word doc would look different on different screens. (For example, try shrinking your Word window on your PC and see how the lines change.... or go into your display settings and change the resolution for your screen.)

So while you may be able to get close on WDC to matching the Word layout, you're definitely unlikely to be able to create the same formatted feel of a PDF or even your Word doc.

Best wishes,
