  The text for my post is grey instead of the usual white in the body of my latest post. I tried to paste as white from word but it still didn’t work.

  Hi there!

  I just took a look at your latest post in the Text editor. It looks like there were a lot of extraneous div tags:

  

  I’ve removed all of these tags and updated your post.

  Rich text editors like Microsoft Word add a lot of extraneous code to their documents so that it displays correctly. Because of this, it’s not guaranteed to appear the same when you copy the contents from Microsoft Word and paste it into WordPress.com editor.

  We recommend that you:

  * write directly to our editor
  * use either a plain text editor like TextEdit or Notepad then post to our editor
  * use a desktop client to post to WordPress (http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/ — including Word 2007 or newer via API)
  * use post by email feature (http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-by-email/)

  More details can be found here, including how to paste clean text from Word:

  Microsoft Word

  Let me know if I can help further!
