    Whenever I publish my post I get the following list below. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how to stop it? This is my SECOND request for help. This list does not appear when I am composing the post. Only after I press PUBLISH. I’ve been publishing posts since December and now these past few weeks, this is what happens. So I have to go back into the post and delete this list of odd terms and symbols and update. What’s going on? Please help ASAP!

    Edit the post to remove that code > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/

    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/

    Thanks, I tried this. I followed instruction for Setting, writing and tehe XHTML automatic, save. When I posted my new post, the post went up fine. But the next day when I worked on a PAGE and updated it (I deleted the old text and put in new text from Word), the codes came up again when it updated.

    Not sure what’s happening. Do you think I should work in rtf rather than docx in Word? Would that clear this up?

    Doing this works. I know that because it’s what I do > http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text
    Windows Live Writer is even better http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/
