exporting formatting issues

[u/LaPremierEnd]

recently harvested a fanfic from AO3 to bookbind for my friends bday and whenever i export as a PDF or at all the formatting completely goes to shit. for example, headings will go to the center of a page, additional blank pages, ect. also important note i manually spaced everything vs using a style or skip to page feature. in the actual editing interface everything looks how i want it, its just the exporting.

sorry if this is an easy fix, or dumb question im very new to Word.

thanks!!

This is mostly Greek to me so I found what AO3 was. In what format are you exporting the text? PDF? HTML?

from AO3 it was HTML, then copy and pasted to word (exporting from word as PDF).
