Are you trying to rewordify a web page that doesn't look right or doesn't rewordify properly? Or, is the article you want to rewordify on multiple pages, and you'd like to rewordify it all at once?
Here's what to do: Bring up the web page on a separate tab or window. Then, look to see if there's a "Print" symbol on the web page, or the words "printer version," or something like that. Click that link, and the article should display in a much simpler way.
It's easy to highlight the text in that simpler version. Copy-paste (CTRL-C, CTRL-V) the text from the article into the bottom box of the Rewordify.com web page and click "Rewordify text."

Poetry suggestion
Rewordify.com automatically changes difficult words to easy ones and highlights the easy ones. If you mouse-over (or tap) the easy highlighted word, the original difficult word appears.
When reading poetry, you might think about changing the highlighting on the Settings page to "reverse loud," "reverse quiet," or "reverse silent." These settings show all the original words, highlighting the hard ones (except for "reverse silent", which doesn't highlight anything). When you mouse-over (or tap) the highlighted word, an easier word appears.
These settings keep the original rhyming and beat of the poem visible, so the beauty of these things are more obvious as you read.
This is only a suggestion. Try out all the highlighting settings and set them to the way you want, so you learn more words in the way that works best for you.

Printing tips
Having the highlights show when printing
In most web browsers, when you print a rewordified page the highlighting won't show. That's because the highlighting is a "background color", and most browsers don't print background colors by default to save ink and toner.(Note: Google Chrome does not support printing background colors as of 2/26/2013. If you want to print pages so the highlighting appears, use a different web browser.)
To get the highlighting to show.
- In your browser, find the Print menu.
- In the Print menu there should be an option for Page Setup.
- In Page Setup, click the option to "print background colors and images," or any similar-sounding option.
Now the highlighting will print correctly!
Highlight it your way
When you start using Rewordify.com, it "rewords" difficult words and phrases to easy ones, and highlights the easy rewordings in yellow. We call this "loud" highlighting:
You can switch it to what we call "quiet" highlighting, like this:
There are lots of other highlighting choices. See the settings page on the web site for a more detailed description.
Rumors of word-based energy were proven true.
