unwanted code showing up when I publish a new post
-
Hi. Can someone please help me figure this out? Every time I publish a new post, some random lines of code appear at the beginning of it that I never typed in. I copy/paste my posts from a word document into the post area and do not see these lines of code until I publish the post. I’m so confused! Please help. I’m using the Twenty Ten theme if this matters at all. Thank you!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Microsoft Word is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that’s not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
Note you need to click the kitchen sink icon #15 at the end of Row 1 to have Row 2 appear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-1
Go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
Formatting
_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/

If you are using Word to compose your posts, that’s your problem. Use Windows Live Writer if you must do something other than post in the write post box. Word adds horrible invisible code which then shows on your post.
