There is no such thing as importing from any word processing program like Microsoft WORD. I think you must mean you are copying and pasting.
If you are copying and pasting from Microsoft WORD but failing to do that in the correct manner (see below) there will be issues and some are not immediately apparent but will be cumulative and will manifest over time.
Microsoft Word is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly.

_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/

ok, but the import thing is gone. It was there the other day. Don’t know where it went. Those links are just telling me how to use it.

There is no such thing as importing from Microsoft WORD or any other word processing program. You can only import XML files as described here http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/ Are you clear on that?

-
Yeah, we’re clear.
But do you understand what I’m saying. That icon, the one that looks quite similar to Microsoft word…is no longer appearing.
Does that make sense or not?

I just found out Staff are working on the editor.
Use this icon instead then
Row 2 icon #5

Post as plain text (Paste is now in plain text mode. Contents will now be pasted as plain text until you toggle this option off.) -

I am sorry but I don’t have a clue how long it will take. I don’t know if they will reinstall the icon again for WORD because the other icon for posting as plain text works the same way and Does. the same thing. So I would not wait. I would Use this icon instead and proceed

We have removed the “Paste as Word” button from the toolbar, but this should not affect your ability to paste Word documents into WordPress.com.
