I still use office 2003. I've never changed the formatting in word. still all on default settings. When I copy from word into wordpress, it does not carry any extra code into it. I don't use the rich text editor in wordpress. That may have something to do with it. The fact that I haven't changed any of the default formatting in word may have something to do with it. Not sure why, but I can copy and paste directly in with no problems. Just wonder if anyone knows the reason. Also, just wanted to add. I still use office 2003.

LoL. Do you really worry that much about misspelled words? Here's a thought. If YOU misspell a word, do you think someone else in the entire world might also misspell it the same exact way you do? If so, maybe you have a number 1 listing for that user and maybe that user even buys something. When we are talking about blogging, it isn't the same as article marketing. I believe articles should be spelled correctly. I believe blogs should be written and not too much emphasis put on grammar and spelling. Now, that being said, if you are a truly bad speller who misspells dozens of words per page, then take the additional steps. If you only sometimes misspell something, leave it alone and let the other misspellers find you. I did a press release for a client. Misspelled condominium. Had the number one listing for the misspelled version in google. How many people do you think found that press release because they misspelled condominium too? Just my thoughts. Misspelled words are even bid on in adwords campaigns because people who misspell also buy stuff.

My experience has been copying from Word into Notepad still migrates code. Since Notepad acts as a text/html editor it takes the MS code and uses it the same way a web browser or html document would. It may disregard some of the code, but it does keep some of it as well. The safest way to use WordPress if you want to spell check your posts is to write directly into your blog software using Firefox. The Mozilla browser will spell check your posts as you write the same way that MS Word does. I do like Open Office, though! :-) Thanks for the comment Adam.

A tad convoluted, but it works great for me. ~Adam Explode The Net!
