I'm about to try the 14 day trial at the Power level and want to know if I can add text pages (without photos) to my site. If so, how do I convert the text from Word so I can upload text pages?
Thank you?

    Lucy,

    Depending on how complex the pages are referring to the formating you should be able to do that by just saving the document as an html file. Then open the html file in notepad and copy everything included in the body part: 
    <body>
copy everything in between these two elements
</body>
    to the gallery description of the gallery you want it to be in and surround it by html-tags like that: 
    <html>
Here goes all the code you copied from your html-file
</html>

    Let me know if that works or if you've got any other questions.

    You would use the "html" gallery method. Copy from Word and paste into
    notepad, you don't want any of the funny characters or hidden control
    codes from a processor. Then copy from there and paste in the gallery
    description between html tags. You can add all kinds of formating in there.
    See FAQ 41 of this page.

    Also look at this page and this page for examples.

    Holler back if your need any help.

    Hi,
    I'm at shilohbear.smugmug.com. The text copied okay except the copyright symbols becamse squares and showed up on the line below. Also, on the last page of the document, the grey themne color turned to white. Then there was a page after that of the cover photo I featured for the gallery.
    Also, is there a way to enter disparate pages of text instead of one long continuous one? Thanks a lot.

    Change all the squres to © with this (delete the spaces)
    & # 169;

    You could probably just copy © and paste in.


    Add these to your CSS to clean up the page.

    .gallery_3058238 #albumDescription {background: none !important;}

    .gallery_3058238 #shareLink,
    .gallery_3058238 .play_slideshow,
    .gallery_3058238 .journal_entry,
    .gallery_3058238 #albumNav_top,
    .gallery_3058238 #albumNav_bottom {display: none;}

    The easiest way is to have multiple html pages, with links from one to another.
