  I attempted to copy and paste from both OpenOffice.org and Google documents and though the text shows up, it vanishes once i save the draft and does not appear when i preview the post. How do i get this accomplished. without thee ability to work off-line there is no need for me to continue with this blog site. I must be able to paste from other software. i do not own Ms. Office and have no intention to install it.

  thank you.

  OpenOffice.org is a great tool for writing, but for web publishing it actually produces some pretty messy HTML.

  If you want to use OpenOffice.org, you can follow the instructions here. (They saw Word, but the instructions also apply to OpenOffice.org.)
