Ok, I'm being difficult but I have been having a problem when I post a blog. Frequently 2 word proper names are posted as 1 word. I always write and proof read in a word document. I then cut and paste the information into the Blog. So what is up?

I need an example... make a blog post that has this issue and I will take a look at it.

The problem is present throughout my most recent Blog post " Lake Stevens Too Crowded?” Thanks for looking into this.

I have a suspicion that Word is the culprit here. Cutting/pasting from Word into anything web based can be problematic. Try this... copy the blog post off the website back into Word, and fix everything so it looks just like you want it to. Then, copy OUT of Word, into Notepad, THEN into the website and post it. I bet it will solve the problem. When you copy/paste form Word you are actually copying a lot of hidden markup which is pasted into the editor. Notepad has no such markup so when you copy out of notepad you are essentially stripping the "extra" stuff off and are left with nothing but plain text. Paste it into the editor on the website and format it there... Let me know what happens.

I argee with Aaron, I use note pad to remove all formatting before copying into a web post or even if copying between certain applications.

Ok, I opened Notepad, cut and pasted the information into Notepad, cut and pasted from Notepad into my Blog post while in the edit mode. I made a few additional formatting changes and reread for content. The revised post was perfect...untill I hit "Save" it realoaded the origional post. I tried a couple times with no luck. What should I try next? Or more likely, what am I doing wrong?

[Aaron]

I'm really not sure what the problem is here... I copied the text from your blog, pasted it into Notepad, copied it back out of notepad into the blog editor and saved it... no problems after saving.. all the names looked fine.

What browser are you using?

[rseas]

Microsoft Explorer. In thinking about it I have had problems editing Blog posts in the past. I hope that we can resolve the problem and again thank you.

It seemed like the only problems were when you had two capitalized words next to each other, like LakeStevens. Is that correct or did I just miss others?

[Aaron]

I don't use IE at all anymore... but I fired it up and tried it with IE8... no problems. Do you have something other than IE to try it out with? I'm curious if it's something on your end.. some plugin, spell checker, something... I don't even know... IE and Firefox working fine on this end.
