Formatting error while publishing theblog from Microsoft Word

When pasting text from Microsoft Word, make sure you use the “Paste from Word” feature in the WYSIWYG editor. This can be done by clicking on the far right icon that looks like rainbow squares called “Show/Hide Kitchen Sink” (Show/Hide Kitchen Sink).

This will reveal a second row of icons, one with a “W” for Word (enter image description here). This helps strip a lot of the crap Word.

Also, if you don’t need link/bold/bullet/etc formatting, you can use CMD + SHIFT + V (CTRL + SHIFT + V on Windows) to paste without formatting.
