I forgot where I put my LJ fic converter post when I did my tag overhaul last month.
Anyway, you guys know that Word pastes in a lot of XML crap into the HTML when you directly copy and paste your fic into the Rich Text box. Because LJ counts the code and not the letters, this means that it can tell you that fics that should fit in your post actually do not fit. Formatting the HTML can be a pain, and you can still have formatting errors. I always run my Word docs through this fantastic HTML cleaner (
http://word2cleanhtml.com/) before posting fic here. It's so so amazingly beautiful.
Dear self, who will be searching through my email to find this post later, here are some keywords:
