  I am considering changing from the MistyLook theme to the ChaoticSoul theme, but I’ve noticed that my previous posts (generally created in Word and then pasted into the post box via the “Paste from Word” tool) show up in black text rather than white. I also note that new posts created in that manner also display in black, but if I paste into the regular new post window the new post displays in white text against the black background of the ChaoticSoul theme. My question: is there an easy way to convert my 200+ existing posts so they will show up as white text against the ChaoticSoul’s black background?

  Thanks in advance for your attention to this inquiry.

  There is no easy way to change fonts on WordPress.com blogs. You cannot accomplish that without purchasing an annually renewable custom design upgrade http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/ and doing the required CSS editing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/editing-css/

  Microsoft WORD is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

  Note you need to click the kitchen sink icon #15 at the end of Row 1 to have Row 2 appear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-1

  Go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
  Formatting
  _ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
  “save changes”

  I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/
