This is a brief tutorial created for the contributors, authors, and editors of the blog/site hopculture.org. although it was specifically made for that site it gives a general idea of how to properly copy/paste text content from Microsoft Word into WordPress 2.7
Copying text from Microsoft Word into WordPress is a great way to be able to work on a blog post locally on your computer or while not connected to the Internet but pasting it into WordPress has its downsides. One of the most notable issues is that Word is a Rich Text edito and usually embeds formatting into it’s text. When you try to copy/paste into wordpress that Rich text formatting is usually carried into the post and this creates unncessary HTML formatting tags that may cause inconsistency in your blogs look and feel. Also if not properly done (I have experienced this) it may even take your blog offline due to “dirty code”
WordPress has created 2 WYSIWYG buttons to import text into your post. 1) from Microsoft Word 2) as plain text. In using the “paste from word” button is where our blog has gone offline and by researching a bit I noticed that it creates a media object (i.e flash) that for some reason WordPress hangs while loading the page (this may not happen to you, it’s a sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t error).
Never-the-less I always resort to using the “paste as plain text” button.
It has never let me down.

This beginner-level WordPress tutorial is an update of the existing tutorial on http://mcbuzz.wordpress.com and YouTube called “WordPress Tutorial – How to Upload and Link to a PDF, Microsoft Word Document, Excel, PowerPoint or Other Doc Using WordPress”. That tutorial was done using an earlier version of WordPress. This tutorial uses WordPress 2.7.
This tutorial shows three things:
1) How to upload a PDF, Microsoft Word doc, PowerPoint, Excel or other Office-type document using WordPress 2.7.
2) How to insert a link to that document into a WordPress post or page. (Visitors to your site can click on the link to download or view the document.), and
3) that there are two things called “Media Library” in the WordPress 2.7 Dashboard, one of which has more information about the files in the Library than the other does. It’s helpful to see how you get to each of these Media Libraries because you can find the URL link for a file in only one of them, which can be confusing!
