  Yes but here’s what to do first. Go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”
  Please see here so you know how to do this correctly http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
  Best wishes with your blog. :)

  I’d like to suggest that you consider using Windows Live Writer in the future.
