   If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate.

   I am attempting to edit a post on my site and I have tried 4 or five different wysiwyg editors and i still have the same problem.

   The problem is that when I want to separate portions of text with a return or using the enter key, it is not taking the return. Everytime I repost the edit, it dissapears or is ignored. This should be functionality that is old hat like 15 years ago, but for some reason it does not work.

   >>>this space between paragraphs. >>>>

   Like here, there is a space or another paragraph. I'm beginning to thing these wysisyg should be called wtfaig (wtfamigetting?)

   Please someone help.

   The issue will almost certainly not be with the editor but with your current theme's CSS. A link to a page on your site that demonstrates the problem could confirm this as well as hopefully providing you with a solution.

   I THINK I have this same issue, though I'm very, very new. I'm using the K2 theme, and it seems any time I try to edit a page or post, and use the enter key, the spacing is not preserved. When I move over to the "html" tab of the page or post, and try to insert the html codes I've learned to create a space, that doesn't work either...

   It's very possible I'm overlooking something very basic, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

   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 the inbuilt Paste from Word option in the Visual Editor. Or Windows LiveWriter.

   esmi,

   THANK YOU! I really love Windows LiveWriter, and had no idea it existed until you mentioned it! I realize that my question was very basic - thanks for taking the time to answer it for me - I would have been frustrated for days. Thanks so much!

   Do you mean to say that if one does a cut and paste one time I am running the risk of fouling up all future blog entries? I ask, as I did a cut and past from an old blog entry and I am now having the same problem as described above.

   Is it this easy to corrupt the WordPress editor?
