Help! MS Word to Celtx--lost half my page count

As it says in the title, when I tried to convert my script from MS word to Celtx to a PDF file, I lost half of my page count. I went from 48 pages to 29.

A lot of my script includes lyrics (because I'm writing a musical) and the spacing is important. But that's completely ignored when I translate it into a PDF file--it just takes entire pages of lyrics and crunches them together into one huge long unintelligible paragraph.

I'm not sure what to do...does anyone know how to fix this?

The same thing happened to me. I went from 101 pages to 74, and there's no way I'm writing an extra 30 pages today and tomorrow to make it up- I'm a college student and it's crunch time.

There I was, thinking I was home free, but little did I know that I was actually 30 pages behind.

There should be some kind of warning on the script frenzy site about the potential loss of pages because apparently a lot of people have had this issue.

You might be able to put it in PDF from MS word, and not lose pages.

Yup. the same thing happened to me. Some how the temp file got deleted by a 3rd party application, and its gone. All 100 pages. And I didn't get to convert in into a PDF file. :(
