This problem comes up a lot so I thought I would make a quick blog post about it. I hire a lot of bloggers and each has their own methods of writing blog posts.

Some of them use Microsoft Word to write the post, then copy it into a wordpress blog. This can cause you some problems you may not be aware of.

On some computers, when you copy your text from word into the wordpress blog, you also copy some of the invisible formatting code that word uses.

When you paste it into your wordpress blog, it can cause the blog post to look strange compared to your other blog posts and can even mess up the whole template you are using.

If you like writing your posts in word first, then the solution is pretty simple. Copy it from word into notepad, then into your wordpress blog. Notepad gets rid of all of the bad code and just leaves the text.

Hope that helps.
