Copy and Paste Text From the Word Doc Into the Correct Fields
The “brief description” is notated as “summary” on the Word doc (don’t include the word “summary”)
The “about the author” section is critical because this is where the links are. If the links aren’t right - the article has no value to the client and that can be a disaster!

DELETE the default text in the “about the author” section.
Copy the “without HTML” author bio into the “text only field
Copy the “with HTML” author bio into the “with HTML” field
