  I wrote a text in Word but I don not understand how I can copy this text to a page I just started in WordPress.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s a bad idea to use text written in Word, in a wordpress.com website. If you copy – paste text from Word to wordpress.com all hidden codes get erased. If you save your Word document as html, you get very sloppy html overloaded with garbage.

  Hi there,

  To get around the issues @staartmees mentioned above, instead of just copy-pasting, you can try using Word’s feature that lets you post directly to your blog from Word instead.

  You can find details how to set that up here:
