Microsoft Word is a word processing program that’s not compliant with web standards. The result of copy and pasting from Microsoft Word into the Tiny MCE editor in WordPress blogs can be unexpected, and contain a lot of formatting code that's not compliant unless you know how to use the built-in features in the Visual editor for using Word cleanly. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#pasting-text

It is irritating because my fallowers becomes an issue with this strange signs. Please chack if there is something wrong or if this is my mistake - it is the case of all my blogs.

I actually have 2 questions:
1) Can I blog with WordPress.com while off-line? I was recently at a hotel that did not have wi-fi and,when I tried to blog, the draft was lost. I will be away from wi-fi for the next few weeks but want to continue writing (even if it means I upload several day's worth of blogs all at once). Is there a solution? I will be using my iPad (just to complicate things).
2) I have some video I'm trying to insert into my blog. But it is in ".avi" format which it seems WordPress won't take. Is there a solution? I'm grabbing my video from Picasa.
Thanks for the time, I'm new at this and (kind of) enjoying the learning curve.!

The images are uploaded to the WordPress gallery, but when I try to insert them from there, the thing described above happens. I can, however, insert them from my phone.

Some weird stuff has been happening for the last two posts. They look fine until published. I forgot to copy and paste what was connected to the top line in my post but here is what was with the bottom link in my post. I did do some deleting in text (no idea what I'm doing) and got the post not too bad but I cannot get a space between the text and the second, bottom link even though it looks fine in my drafts.
Why is this happening all of a sudden?
Can someone help me get things back to normal?
I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,

I looked at the Text tab after I tried to insert an image (which only shows up as a little line in the visual editor), and I saw that instead of the image, it inserts something with the same "span" tags.
I usually write my posts in Word and copy the text paragraph by paragraph using the "paste from word" function, but I might have forgotten to use it for 1-2 paragraphs now, and that's probably when it got messed up. I think I will start using Live Writer.
Thank you very much for your help!
