  Hi there – There is an “export” feature detailed here: https://wordpress.com/support/export/

  Might that work for your needs?

  If you need something different, let us know what your end goal is by downloading your blog posts and we’ll see if we can find another way. :)

  I’d just like to have a backup.

  I used the function and got this: “This file has custom XML elements that are no longer supported in Word. Saving the file will remove these elements permanently.”
  I suppose there’s no tool that gives me a less funky Word file?

  Not built into WordPress, no. A WordPress export is a machine-readable file that’s meant to be imported to another site or platform.

  If you want something that lets you read your site’s content offline, you’ll need to go an extra step – there are services that can convert that export file into a PDF or ebook format for you. The most popular ones you can look at are fastpencil.com and blogbooker.com
