format of a new post
-
I have a post ready for my Blog that has 2 columns of text. When I did ‘copy and paste’ the document didn’t look the same, and I had trouble getting the spacing I needed. Do I have to re-type the whole thing into your wordpress template?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
What’s the editor you used to create the post? The code generated by pasting content from Microsoft Word (and other word processing editors) can cause conflicts with the code at WordPress.com. We strongly encourage our users to use the WordPress.com post editor to create content and formatting on-the-fly. If you’d really like to do offline blog post creation, you might try software, e.g., Windows Live Writer.
If your document has heavy formatting and doesn’t cleanly paste, you can try pasting it in as Plain Text using the ‘Paste as text’ button in the WordPress.com post editor.
You can read more about best practices for adding content created in a word processing program here:
Since you mentioned your text had two columns, if you’d like to maintain that, I’d recommend using the Columns Block and pasting the text to each column separately:
