Troubleshoot Word 2013 – settings etc

I am running into the same issues with WordPress 3.8.1 running Arras Theme hosted on GoDaddy.

There has to be a way to debug this. The images are uploading and the text is occasionally getting through.

Please don’t say that Word does not work for this, I have been using it for years and since WLW has been broken and rolled into the Suite, it is not an alternative, even if it did work. If anyone has an alternative for creating posts OFFLINE I’d love to hear it.

Using the browser and the Media tools to upload a post with 10-12 images is not an alternative.

Oh, I found this XML-RPC Validator and my blog check out fine: https://xmlrpc.eritreo.it/

Using Word for web work is asking for trouble – it adds all kinds of incompatible code. Best to avoid it.

Do you have proof of this assertion? When I look at my blog, which I have used both Word and WLW I cannot tell the difference between the posts. Can you tell me what “code” is “incompatible”?

This thread would be better served by people who wish to solve the problem rather than avoid it by brushing aside Word and WLW. (Or offer an alternative to them that works.)

Do you have proof of this assertion?

Yes – we’ve all seen the terrible things that the rubbish from Word can do to a site. It can even bring some sites down in IE. Seen it happen dozens of times.

Don’t paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress. Or use a weblog client.
