Yeah try paste as text. And if that doesn't cut out all that formatting, just compose it in Wordpress - our autosave function works pretty well.

Actually, I was writing them in Google Documents and then using "Paste From Word" like an idiot.

Are you composing your posts in another program before pasting them into Wordpress? This one had a few problems, but not as major. What operating system and browser are you using?

You might want to try the 'Paste as text' command instead of Pasted from Word.

I just did another post using the paste from word feature but it looks different; let me know if I did anything wrong.

Gotcha; usually don't use Word, but I was trying to make fonts bigger and then.

Hi Barrett,

The formatting in that blog post was all messed up - in particular, it had a font that looked like it was brought over from somewhere else, perhaps MS Word?

If you prefer to compose blog posts in MS Word or something like it, please use the 'Paste from Word' function in Wordpress so you're not bringing over HTML code from the program that's incompatible with our system.

I probably screwed up some other formatting in the process of fixing it to use our defined font. If you'd like to re-add the bolds or italics to wherever they were placed, feel free to do so.

Thanks,
