If you try to copy text directly from MS Word into the WordPress editor you will find that your article will be distorted; For example the spacing will be wrong. This is because MS Word has formatting that the WordPress editor can’t handle. 

There is a simple solution to this problem.  First copy the text from MS Word and then paste it into a text editor like Notepad.  If you’re not sure how to find Notepad on Windows, press the Windows key and the R key at the same time.  Then enter Notepad into the text field and press enter.  Notepad will pop up.

Notepad will automatically delete all the extra formatting.   Now copy the text from Notepad and paste it directly into the WordPress editor.  The formatting of your article should have copied over correctly.  Now all you have to do is save and publish your masterpiece.
