  You shouldn’t be able to do that in the first place, actually.

  raincoaster:

  Yes you should. In the Visual tab of the editor at /wp-admin/post-new.php one of the buttons is to paste from Word. From experience, that preserves Word’s formatting.

  The problem is in many instances is that word uses font and color codes that were depreciated in HTML 4 and are now obsolete in HTML5 and wordpress is virtually completely HTML5 now.

  Get Windows Live Writer and use that instead of Word. Word is to the web like a handful of sand is to a gearbox: bad news.

  Or write your own code. Inline CSS style-tags for colour and font-family are hardly complicated.

  I think that’s not realistic for the person who posted this question.
