Words at end of a line are being split, the whole word isn't moved down one line

  • I’ve just posted my first blog at answertoaging-blog.com. I’ve pasted in my post from a word document. Many of the words at the end of a line within a paragraph are split with part of the word being at the end of the line and the remainder of the word being moved down to start the next line. Is there a simple solution to this. I’m a newbie to WordPress so please be explicit with any suggestions.

    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 Windows LiveWriter.

    In Visual mode there is a “Paste From Word” button you can use. I’ve never used it, so I’m not sure how well it works. The fail safe method is to Follow Tara’s instructions.

    Thank you Tara. I copied the word doc into Evernote, then copied it from Evernnote and pasted it into my blog and it worked! Again thanks!!

    PS I had tried the “paste from word” button but still had the problem.
