I’ve always recommended that people not paste text directly into WordPress from Microsoft Word, and instead suggested that they open their Microsoft Notepad, paste into Notepad, then copy and paste back into WordPress. This extra step removes the stupid formatting put in place by Microsoft Word. Apparently, a recent addition to WordPress (maybe 2.3?) added a button on the WordPress text editor that allows you to paste information directly from Microsoft Word, and instantly strips out all the formatting. I’m exactly not sure how long it’s been there, but it works very well. First you have to open the advanced toolbar options to see the new button button -
This expands the menu to a second level where you will immediately see the option for Microsoft Word pasting.
Hitting that button opens another small window, where you can paste from Word to your hearts content.
Nice! | ||||

Luckily, it was the last post I had put up. As soon as I deleted it everything was ok.

Thanks for the great tip!
One other question, when I import the doc in fromword, sections that are bulleted come out in very small type. How can I make it the same size as the rest of the document?
Thanks,
Jim

For some reason, your comment bounced to the spam folder, i’m sorry for the delay-
Anyway, if the formatting still isn’t right, then I know of no way to get it “correct” without first pasting from MS word into MS Notepad or WordPad, then pasting into WordPress. That box is supposed to strip out all Word formatting, but doesn’t always work, depending on your version of Word…

I could not import “WordArt.” A blank text box was visible, but no image.

No, you can’t import WordArt because it’s not text – you have to save the wordart as an image, and add it like any other image…
