  I am a complete newbie here but I have spent 2 hours trying to find the answer but I refuse to spend the entire morning boggled to death. I published my first post yesterday but the published version does not match the word processing page and paragraphs and sentences are nice and tidy on the word processing page but all mixed up on the published page and the pair of them refuse to cooperate.
  I just want the two to match please. Thanks for your help!

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

  Hi there,

  Congratulations on posting your first posts!

  I went and took a look at your site and your posts do not look bad in any way! I will say that if you were writing your posts in an actual word processor such as Microsoft Word, you may want to be careful as copy and pasting content from Word can cause significant problems on your site (the copy and paste process caries a lot more than just the text, there’s a lot of code which you don’t see, and that code can cause issues on any web page!). For more information of working in Word, you can read our help page here:

  When writing, we actually recommend composing in our Visual Editor, and then before you post, use the Preview button. It will allow you to see your post exactly as it appears to everyone on your site. That way, if there’s some aspect you don’t like, you can change it before you actually hit the Publish button.
