It's suitable to clean html codes trough a simple-text editor (copying and pasting to simple text, and copying and pasting from simple text to the post)

In order to insert spaces I use a trick, without html:
I insert the sign "|", may be any other, and I change the font colour to the same colour of post's background, or the most similar possible.
I'm sure that this isn't the best way, but it's an idea.

(I´m not good writing English, I hope you understand)

The reason I ask is that instead of having <p style="font-family: arial;">your pagagraph text</p> you have <div style="font-family: arial;">your pagagraph text</div> which is what is causing the problem. To have paragraph spacing you need to use p tags, not div tags.

Also, since the theme's default body text is "Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode",Arial,sans-serif you aren't gaining anything by specifying Arial.

Click save or update post and have a look. I think that will fix your problem.

It is incredibly annoying. Even if I go to HTML mode and do a
it removes this too.
Any ideas?
