  I am trying to format dialogue in a post and even though it looks fine when I type in the box the dialogue wraps oddly and messes up. This happens even when I copy the whole word document by hand as well as when I tried to post it from word, both as an original document and as plain text. It is driving me mad.

  Please help. I have tried to look at all the advice etc. :(

  The problem is the word document. It contains coding that makes it turn out all wrong when put into wordpress.

  Have you tried using the “paste from word” icon on the extended tool bar?

  That seems to do a very good job of cleaning up word documents. Also keep in mind that the text formatting options available in word are all not available for use on the web.
