  Never copy from Word, it will muck things up big time: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/09/why-not-to-use-word/

  What you will probably have to do is use a 1 x 1 table created with HTML. Instead of creating tables manually, I use http://www.ahfb2000.com/tablemakertool2.php?sub=gen_form which will generate the HTML code from your selections, and then you can paste it into the HTML tab in the editor.

  The code for a 1 x 1 would look something like this`<table cellpadding=”1″ cellspacing=”1″ summary=”” border=”1″>
  <tr>
  <td> </td>
  </tr>
  </table>`

  And you would replace the ” ” with the text you wanted in the box.

  That was weird, the code was not put in a darker background like it has been in the past.

  <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" summary="" border="1">
  <tr>
  <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  </table>

  Hmmm, that time it worked.

  Replace the
   
  with the text you desire.
