Solution to problem of copying Word text to post as a blog

With the problems I've been having with my computer (which lead to my having to restart or get back into Internet Explorer) I've learned it might be faster to use FireFox, but I've also learned to do all my composing in Word and save it as I'm doing now. Unfortunately I didn't do this earlier and I lost valuable time and ideas.

The problem with copying and pasting this information to post as a blog was it was pasted as an html document which could not be published as a "compose". I got around this problem by saving the document as "Plain text" on my desktop and copying this plain text a new posting. As you can see here, this works fine.

Now to solve the computer's not working.....

PS. I love the "

    Good on yeah! Copying from Word is always hard on the web as Word uses non-standard markups that other programs have a hard time reading. Other programs such as openoffice.org use standard markup language and copying and pasting from it is much easier.
