Formatting errors show once blog is published, but look fine during writing/edit
-
Before I published my last blog, I edited it, checked for errors, etc. Once it was published there were many formatting errors in terms of spacing between paragraphs, etc. For some reason when I go into edit, the layout appears fine with a space between eat paragraph. Unfortunately, when you view it, it isn’t that way. Can you please help? Thank you!

If you have been copying and pasting text from elsewhere like for example from Microsoft Word, without using either icon 5 or icon 6 in Row 2 of the visual editor, please see http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text and http://en.support.wordpress.com/microsoft-word/#using-word-cleanly
Then please go to Settings > Writing and select “ ___ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” and then scroll down and click “Save Changes.”
Posts > All Posts, change all your latest posts to Draft, click Update, change them back to Published, click Update again. (You can edit all of them at once: tick the square in front of their titles then select Edit from the Bulk Actions dropdown and click Apply.)

This most often happens during a copy paste, but it can be fixed. Open the post/page in the editor, select everything in the post and then select “paragraph” from the format/style pulldown on the left end of the lower row of tools in the editor (row 2 #1).

Also, the width of your Edit Post box is not the same as the width of your content column. Always preview before hitting Publish if formatting is important to you.
