But MS Word also contains a lot of formatting behind the scenes, and when you paste that into a blog post and do not use the "Remove formatting" tool to get rid of it, the result is ... what we now see. Pasting in from MS Word messes up the way the blog displays.
So the new rule is that, if you do write something in MS Word, you must always and without exception remove all weird formatting before you publish your post; it isn't difficult: just select the text you've pasted in and apply the "Remove formatting" tool. Although I think it's better to write in the blog, saving as a draft until you are ready to publish, if you prefer, you may write in MS Word provided that you follow this rule to clean out anything that might mess up the display.
It isn't a big problem; I'm not sure which post has caused it this time, and it's nothing to worry about. I will fix it later today.
