  Well, Word is full of bugs and not web-compatible. The best way to do this is to use the Paste From Word button on the Advanced toolbar. If that doesn’t work, the second best way to do it is to paste it into the Text editor, not the Visual editor, and then add in the formatting by hand.

  If you prefer to work offline, don’t use Word, which will cause you nothing but problems because it is not web compatible. Use Windows Live Writer, which is free and works much the same, only without the bugs.

  Paste from Word worked.

  Simple when you know how.

  Actually, I should have seen that. I am sorry to have troubled you. Really appreciate your help.

  Not at all, it’s very common. I answered questions along the same lines at least five times today.
