  I have cut and posted a few things from other blogs or pdf articles ( all with permission) The font on some is tiny or different than my default font. I do not have css upgrade. Is there a way to correct this ? can I correct it on all of my blog posts at once ? Or do I have to correct each post individually ?

  Help. I am not that proficient..

  When copying and pasting content from other sources, extra HTML formatting can be added – this will cause issues similar to that you describe.

  You will need to edit the HTML of the posts and remove any extra HTML tags that is changing the font size.

  You can also copy your content, paste it into a rich text editor, such as NotePad, and then copy/paste it back into your WordPress editor. This should remove all unwanted formatting.

  Thanks for the help. For the posts that have issues is there any simple fix that a newbie can do aside from copying into NotePad and then repasting into WP ? there are hundreds of posts that I need to clean up…

  Unfortunately, you will need to somehow remove all of the HTML code that is causing the formatting issues. I cannot think of any evident shortcuts for this process.

  There is a button on the tool bar in the editor called “clear formatting”. It’s on the lower row. Highlight all the stuff in the post and click that button.

  Then – just be careful when publishing any further posts with copied/pasted content.
