  When I copy text that I wrote in Word.doc into the WordPress area, when I view it not all the text shows up. I can see that the the text is there, but it doesn’t show up.

  How do I fix this? Or do I have to type it the text into the WordPress area?

  Hi, Al.

  Copying text from Microsoft Word or other word processors into WordPress won’t work, unfortunately. There’s an FAQ article that elaborates on why this is the case if you’re interested – http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/11/09/why-not-to-use-word/

  It will work, but Word has so much extraneous code that it can be a real headache for you. The extended toolbar has a Paste from Word icon which will help somewhat, but do read the link provided above.

  sorry about above comment. Heres what i’m trying to say. If you like the word.doc interface
  then you might like Windows Live Writer (offline blog editor)
