  I’d like to cut and paste text from Word into WordPress, maintaining the italics, bold, etc. Is there a way to do this? Or to add formatting in a comment?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Jeffrey,

  The comments section on WordPress sites only allows a few html/formatting markup tags.

  If you copy and paste directly from Word, some the formatting may be stripped.

  You can manually wrap text in tags like this to format them:

  <`strong> This text will be bold </strong>

  <em> This text will be in italics </em>

  <blockquote> This will appear as a blockquote </blockquote>`

  Markup for lists and hyperlinks are also allowed.
