Pasted MS Word Documents (without HTML) converted to Web Links

    Wordpress has changed recently. On occasion, one or two lines in my word file used to turn up as HTML or Web Links when I pasted the text into my blog.

    All I would have to do is click it, and click the ‘Link’ button, and the HTML / web link would go away.

    Now when I do that, I get a prompt to connect the non-HTML / web link to a site.

    How can I get back the original functionality and just delete the links?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    WordPress hasn’t changed a bit. That said it has never been a good idea to copy a word document into a website as not all formatting will carry over cleanly, so you may need to tweak some settings. You find usefull info at https://wordpress.com/support/microsoft-word/

    I looked, and that was not helpful.

    Something in WordPress did change. Before the change, if I clicked the “link” icon (looks like two “c’s” with a dash between them) after clicking what WP occasionally thought was a link, it would clear. Now all I get is a drop down of what to “link” the non-link to.

    I started using WP, and draft offline using MS Word since my Blog gets email responses that have to be incorporated.
