  Hi,

  I am a new blogger, and have been drafting my posts in Word before pasting them into WordPress.

  This worked fine, until now, when my latest post appeared in a different font (including size) then all the others!

  Why is this? Is there anything I can do (other than manually retype the entire post)?

  I have tried everything!

  PS I have started to see why Blogspot is so popular now – it might not be as nice on the eye . . . but it is a damn sight more user friendly!

  Why not to use Word

  Your post appeared in a different font because what you pasted includes the command for that font. If you HAVE to paste from Word, do it via the “Paste as Plain Text” button of your visual editor, or in the html editor. For this post, just copy the whole text from the visual editor, switch to the html editor and paste it.

  Thanks for reply, P.

  Excuse my ignorance, but what are the “visual editor” and “HTML editor”?

  Can you explain for a dummy, please.

  It’s the screen you use to write your posts. On the top right there are tabs labelled “Visual” and “HTML”
