Why is wordpress not letting me copy and paste?

    I typed a post into MS Word and then copied and pasted, as I usually do. This time, it would not copy and paste the text I created, but would only display nonsense latin phrases. I finally had to retype, word for word, my post, added in photographs, and published it. The first time it published only one of four photographs and none of the text (almost 500 words). I deleted the post and tried again, and this time the post showed absolutely nothing. I’ve been using wordpress for three months. Everything is the same- same computer, same browser. I’ve tested my copy paste function and it’s working fine- it’s not my computer that’s malfunctioning.

    Hi there Allyson! There have been some recent adjustments made to the way we can paste into WordPress.com sites from MS Word. This should help:

    Microsoft Word

    You might also find this forum thread on the issue informative:
