  Hi,

  Loving the site! I have bought a premium site and am enjoying it immensely. So glad I found WordPress.

  I am having a sporadic problem with paragraph breaks. It is not acknowledging my breaks and is stuffing everything into one gigantic paragraph.

  I loked online and this seems to be a problem for a lot of people regardless of the browser they use. I am using a brand new macbook air 13″ with Lion, latest updates as of today, with safari.

  I found a work around on a site that is this, and seems to work:
  <p align=”none”></p>

  But it is aggravating to always have to be inserting this. I am also having line break problems.

  I sometimes paste from Evernote, so maybe there is a glitch???

  Thanks so much for any help you can give.

  Hi there,

  We recommend that users compose their entries from within the post or page editor itself, and avoid pasting from Evernote or other text editors or word processors.

  You might try pasting from Evernote by following these instructions:

  Or use a desktop application if you prefer this workflow:

  Thank you sooooo much. I used the simple text insert rather than the Word insert and it came out beautifully! I will be doing this from now on!
