My Word (DOCX) export has far more space between lines and paragraphs than the Page preview. Why?

This was a bug, fixed in version 1.9.9. Earlier versions of the Word export turned every line of your text into its own paragraph, each with paragraph spacing, so lines that belong together were pushed apart. Since 1.9.9 the Word export follows the same rule as the Page preview and the PDF: lines that follow each other stay in one paragraph with a line break, and a new paragraph starts only after an empty line. Export again after updating; your text does not need to change.

A book disappeared from my Library but I never deleted it. Is my work gone? A chapter ignores its outline beats and writes the events of the following chapters. What can I do? A chapter or section heading ends up as the last line of a page in my export. How do I fix it? A chapter repeats parts of the previous chapter. Why does this happen and is it fixed?
