    I have four POSTS selected from a PAGE, each POST supports a selection of VIDEOS.
    I want a unique WIDGET containing information for each of the POSTS.

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

    Hi,

    You may use text widgets, including with the information on each post a text widget link to the corresponding post. Alternatively, you may use Image Widgets, with the link URLs (bottom of the widget) set to the corresponding post in each case. With an image widget you’ll need to use the caption option to add information about the posts.

    Thank you for your response, I have installed the two options you proposed, it looks promising. I have got the image working fine but having difficulty finding a text format that works. Then to convert the Microsoft Office 2007 document into a text format that will display the document in a WordPress Post.
    The other challenge is to have the capability to position the frame with the text.
    Regards Ray

    Create your text widget content in a draft post first. Then copy and paste the code from the HTML Text editor into the text widget, and delete the draft post.

    For copying and pasting from Microsoft WORD.

    If you are copying and pasting from a word processing document like Microsoft WORD note that the pasts as WORD button was removed months ago. If you use the Paste as plain text button then a special cleanup process will run to remove any special formatting and HTML tags that may otherwise change your text.
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

    Whether or not you are copying and pasting go to > Dashboard > Settings > Writing and enable this setting:
    Formatting
    __ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
    “save changes”

    Blog editors and word processors are not the same and do not work the same way. The web standard is one blank line only, so you cannot add more blank lines by pressing return repeatedly like you would do with a typewriter or in a word processing application. If you want to learn how to format and space your posts and pages see: http://en.support.wordpress.com/advanced-html/

    P.S. When you create a new post, always make sure the Format tool is set to Paragraph before you start typing. It’s in the Visual editor Row 2 first position “style”. See the illustration here http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2 If you forget to do that then edit the post, highlight all in the Visual editor, select Paragraph from the Format tool, switch editor to Text then switch back to Visual and click Update.
