This WordPress video tutorial shows you the proper way to copy text from an MS Word document and paste it directly into your WordPress blog post or page.   The main reason you want to use this special technique (which is really quite simple) is to make sure that no “extraneous code” is embedded into your blog post or page.  Some extraneous code may simply cause bloated code (excessive, non-productive code) and some may cause more serious problems to your WordPress blog post or page.  Using the special technique for pasting MS Word text into your WordPress blog or website can also help preserve some of the formatting (such as bold, italic, underline, tables, colors, etc.).   However, there are other times when you just want to copy the text from an MS Word document, but not all the fancy styling and layout and formatting.   The best way to end up copying the text but not the formatting is another special, but similiar, technique that is clearly demonstrated in the video.  It’s all very easy to do, but something that most people never learned how to do because they were never told how or shown how in a video like the one below.  Please support this blog  and these FREE WordPress Video Tutorials by leaving your comments below:

Editing WordPress Blog Posts in  Full Screen mode

In this WordPress Tutorial, I show you how to edit WordPress posts and pages using the full screen mode. This gives you much more room for editing text and makes the whole post creation process easier.   I show you where the kitchen sink icon is on the editing toolbar.  I show you how to switch from Visual Editing to HTML editing and back.

You should be using at least WordPress 3.0 version.  As of the time of this post, the latest version is WordPress 3.2.1 . I have a video tutorial on my site that shows you the proper way to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress. To find this tutorial, just click on the WordPress Tutorial link in the navigation bar at the top of this website and scroll down the page to find it the link to that post.

On YouTube, I also have a very helpful WordPress Video Tutorial on how to create a blog post, and another WordPress video tutorial on the proper workflow to use when creating a WordPress blog post or page.
