For me, Ulysses cannot handle truly complex books

As is pulling your hair out trying to figure out what’s causing that paragraph/blank line/image/table to be over there and not right here where it’s supposed to be.

Oh, finally my huge document is ready and perfect! But wait, I should reduce that image by just a tiny bit…10 hours later and after fixing 5000 things that broke with that single mouse drag…done.

I haven’t had to create complex formatted Word documents in years, but one of the ticks I use to do back in the day when I was stuck on formatting was to save the document as RFT. Basically forcing Word to convert all of the formatting into plain text. Sometimes seeing that was enough of a clue and other times I edit the RFT file and then recreated the Word version.
