  How do I copy/paste into my blog? I used to be able to copy from an article I had written in Word and paste its contents into my blog. Now when I do it, I get all kinds of HTML code with each pasting. I mean “lots”; like 200 lines of code before the post. What’s up?

  Hi there,

  As you’ve noticed, Microsoft Word contains a lot of extra code with it which comes along for the ride when you copy/paste. This code is actually pretty harmful to web pages which you paste it in. In order to allow the visual editor to process text from Word, we have included a special window for you to paste in to. You can read about it right here:
