The talk of Gor, and Gorean stories ignited an exploration of my own stories that are similar. I found one that was written back in 2007 when I was even nuttier than I am now and while reading it, found serious sentence structure issues. I have copied and pasted it back to Word for a tune up and plan to replace it at BCTS later today.
My plan is to cut and paste it above the existing story and then cut the old out of the bottom. This feels laborious, and knowing the level of my own "skills" feel there is an easier way. Any suggestions?

After you have replaced the text, let me know and I can freshen the date so the story reappears on the front page for a time.

Is it chapters or one single story?
Can't she copy her revision off her computer
Hit EDIT on the story she is revising
Do a whole story highlight like one does when replacing words, sentences, paragraphs only now whole story
Paste in the edited story as it was moved to "clipboard" on your computer when you copied it in Word
I've copied, pasted, moved bits and pieces and whole stories from the computer to the web and from the web to the computer. If you aren't sure do a test run before you lose all your hard efforts.
Nothing is more frustrating than to have electricity go off after working on a project or a story all day and didn't save it before the lights went out. Okay, there are things more frustrating. A hard drive goes south after one has written a novel and it isn't on a backup disk. Computers are evil beasts. They don't like us and we aren't their masters. They will turn on us and shred our labors every chance they get. It isn't random either. They are sentient. They know when it is best time to strike and lose everything we worked at. When we try to recover it, they feed us back jumbled garbage unrecoverable by even the most sophisticated recovery software.
It knows I'm telling this and it is waiting to download a virus and shred all my drives, including the jump drives.
