paste MSword into wordpress

Hi there,
Can you give a link to the site you’re working on (or the specific post; just the title of the post is fine if it’s still in draft)?
What you describe can happen when pasting content from a word processor, especially if you’re trying to copy special types of content, like equations. And this is because the Rich Text Formatting code word processors use is completely different from HTML code used on websites. And while the editor will try to convert the RTF code into the appropriate HTML, this doesn’t always work.
In this case specifically, I suspect the problem is that HTML has no special handing for mathematical equations, and displaying those on a website requires a completely different type of code, called LaTeX.
So you have two options here:
1) re-create your equations in your website editor using LaTeX code:

2) Depending on how much content we’re speaking of, you might want to consider embedding the content instead of pasting it. In other words, display your actual Word file directly inside your post, in it’s own dedicated frame. It’s possible to embed text files from either MS Word or Google Docs in a WordPress.com site, and it’s also possible to embed PDF files in this way.
(Personally I’d go with saving your file as a PDF and embedding that, so the actual file exists directly in your site’s media library, rather than on the cloud with another provider.)
