  For the past couple of day when I copy/paste to Visual it is not working? When I change to text it screws up my formatting/spacing. Why can’t I see visual post when I copy and paste?

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

  Hi there. Have you tried pasting into visual mode using the “Paste as Text” button? It’s the icon in the editor toolbar with a T on it.

  Also try clearing your browser cache and cookies and let us know if you are still unable to paste: http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

  It might also help if you can let us know which browser and version you’re using: https://www.whatismybrowser.com/

  That is a known issue https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/paste-text-broken-visual-editor?replies=9 You may be able to paste when using the Text Edit view as a work around.

  When I change to text it screws up my formatting/spacing.

  Staff have changed the editor again. Using paste as text Visual editor Row 2 icon #5 removes all formatting and spacing.
