  When I publish or preview my post through Windows Live Writer the entire content is in italics.

  Go to Settings->Writing and select “WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML” and this shouldn’t recur.

  I did this but the problem persisted. I copied and pasted the post into Word, deleted the draft, then copied it back into Live Writer. The italics are gone, but now the post is two different font sizes. I deleted it again. Never had issues before but I am having quite a few now!

  Try copying the post into Notepad then copy into Live Writer?

  After much blind tweaking it appears to be fine. No idea what was causing all the trouble, but thanks for the help!

  Are you sure you selected that setting? It should prevent ALL issues like this. PS: Word is one of your problems.

  I did. It didn’t help. I only used Word in desperation after nothing else worked.
