Its not wordpresses fault, its words fault. Also, partly yours. Print media and web media is not the same thing, so you should expect the same results.
my god, someone that has reason actually posts to these forums?? Have I died and gone to heaven?
so what do i do to fix my faults — and word’s
what if i convert my word doc to pdf and then upload the pdf ?
What version of WordPress? If 2.5.1 read on.
1. Are you using the Visual Editor? (check your user profile settings)
2. Have you tried the “copy from word” button in the visual editor? (to see that you need to click the “show/hide kitchen sink” button at the right end of the row of icons in the “POST” part of the Write panel — the “paste from Word” will be near the middle of the new second row).
That may help preserve the formatting that you’re used to creating with Word.
NOTE: I do not disagree with the comments above – Word is an awful editor when preparing content for the web (and “copy from Word” will not preserve all the formatting that you might want to use. But if Word’s what you know, and you’ve got an immediate task, this tip may help. As you get more comfortable with the web, do plan to learn more about other ways to create web content.
Yes, if your goal is to post a printable document, then uploading a PDF and linking to it may be what you need. But if you just want to put the content onto the web, the PDF will ask your users to do an extra step.

so has anyone got answer — why wordpress is so hard to use?
I was introduced to this thing last week for Alex Jeffreys Internet Marketing course and have spent full time on trying to get a reasonable looking page. It reminds me of 1976 when I first started programming a main frame using holerith cards and Fortran 4. Its just one problem after another. I can’t put things where I want them. Plugins only occasionally do what they say on the tin. Adds some how appear in some themes, but not in others. I even tried to change the header in one theme removing the graphic and replacing with one I generated in photoshop yet it didn’t change the view. After a week I have a useable but crap site. This will have to do, I can’t spend another week working all througth the night. Surely these guys should concentrate on making it more user friendly. In this modern day and age we expect user friendlyness and not something that requires going back to college.
Oh, and what’s that stuff below here.
I hate to say it, but it’s because you people are n00bz.
I’m a big fan of WP because I can appreciate the genius behind it, but there is one aspect of it that I do not like. I do web design and development professionally — as in I get money to do it, do it correctly, and do it well. Then suddenly this magical thing called WordPress comes along and everybody and their brother can make a “website” — for free! Granted they all look like complete crap, but I suppose that’s subjective. No wait, no it’s not. Then WordPress doesn’t do exactly what you want it to do, and you get ignoramuses saying things like:
Surely these guys should concentrate on making it more user friendly.
If I wanted to sell insurance, for example, I “surely” would not take a 10 minute course and proclaim myself a master at it. Appreciate what you have, and more importantly, appreciate what you know nothing about.
Stick to notepad, please.
