Excuse me, but there are only two stickies at the top of this specific forum at the moment and neither one of them mentions anything about pasting from word processors into WordPress. One sticky on image uploading, and one on secret keys.

Stating a problem is not arguing. It is necessary when seeking a solution.

The visual uploader has keys specific for uploading from Word documents so it is not too great of a leap in logic to expect it to be an allowed function. I thank you for letting me know that I can’t use Word for this program. This is a problem for me, because my 3 organizations’ documents are primarily Word documents…..I have a hard enough time keeping up with my own writing requirements but retyping everyone else’s work is not what I have in mind.

Inserting a line break tag is required whenever you use the document up loader or even when you cut and past from notepad. All line breaks look like they are there in the “add new post” but when you publish they disappear. This happens even when you manually go through the cut and pasted document and use the carriage return to insert them (whether or not you use the document up loader…..cutting and pasting from notebook does the same thing). So unless you type everything directly into the visual editor, you do have to go into the html editor to add the br tags.

Why does WordPress require a br tag for entering a line spacing in the visual editor? It is my biggest problem with this program. I don’t have that requirement in Blogger’s visual editor, for instance. I tend to need to upload Word documents for my posting purposes and they look fine when they sit there in visual. However, If I post them directly there are no breaks where they are needed. Then I am required to switch to the html editor and enter the breaks manually. I have large documents and this can be very very time-consuming. I don’t want to switch back and forth between editors….but this design problem requires for me to do so.
