Copy/Paste
-
So I can’t copy and paste from any word processing program?
P.S. I’m so new, I squeek. I have 500 more questions, but I’ll ration them so I don’t drive you crazy.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

always post a link to your blog, starting with http://, or link your username to your blog. this is so that we can see whether you have a wordpress.org blog, their support is http://wordpress.org/support and also sometimes we need to see the site. if you blog is http://marleysmutts.wordpress.com/ then you have three options: “paste from word”, which strips out extra html, “paste as plaintext”, which doesn’t copy any formatting, and working in the visual editor, which is what I suggest.

@marleysmutts: Additional options: paste into the html post or page editor, or prepare your posts in Windows Live Writer.
Note that the problem chiefly concerns Word or other code-rich sources that introduce much junk code. Pasting from simple text editors such as notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac) is relatively harmless.
(@raptortech97: Thanks for adopting the strategy we were talking about!)

marleysmutts.wordpress.com (but it–the address– appeared with my posting window as “Select the blog you need help with” so I don’t know what that’s about).
Thanks for your suggestions. I have yet to figure out what page editor is or how to find it. Paste from Word and paste as plain text are also hiding from me. I know they must be there somewhere, right?
Thanks, again.

1) Unfortunately, “Select the blog you need help with” only serves to detect non-wp.com visitors who then get an autoresponse – doesn’t transfer to the actual post for us poor volunteers here.
2) The post editor is the screen with the big edit box, the one you get to via Posts > Add New, or Posts > Edit > click title of post. Same thing for pages.
3) Post/page editor buttons:
