    mmmm I had the same problem, I just took chunks of text out cos I just thought the box probably had limited space. Someone else might have a solution. XX

    Mmm what a pain - I am now writting answers on a blank word document - don't know if I will be able to copy into the online SEF when it goes live or if I will have the same problem :-(

    According to sarah's ebook if you control c and control v, you can copy and paste your sef from word onto the online version.

    Hi Zoomie, yeah I have Sarah's e- book and can copy and paste following those instructions.
    It was more the space in the box or lack of it that was a problem, I wasn't sure when I copied it in whether the writting that dosn't fit in the word box would dissapear - I have tried on the existing online SEF and you can see all the writting so looks like I've sorted it.

    Write answers on a blanks word doc and then copy into online SEF.

    Not sure if any of that will make sense but I know what I mean LOL

    Have you tried making the font smaller? That way you can fit more text into the box. Plus I've noticed that return makes an extra line so if I do shift & return it doesn't create that extra spacing.
    Thats what I am doing with mine (as if I have that much to write LOL!!!)
