 * Hi All,
    Apologies if this has been answered before but searched and can’t find
   any satisfactory answer/resolution to this issue.
 * Problem I’m experiencing is that irrespective of whether I create a new page 
   or cut and paste, despite the visual editor showing ‘Paragraph’ in the Format
   drop down for a piece of text, when examined in the HTML, no <p> tags are present.
   Even saving, previewing and checking source shows no <p> tags.
 * I’ve created my own theme and <p> tag style definition exists in the CSS file.
   Using WP self-hosted version 3.0.1. Please note I’m using WP as CMS not as blog,
   if that makes any difference.
 * Any help would be much appreciated.
