WordPress Formatting of Published Documents

I AM FRUSTRATED!! To say the least. I have been troubled for several weeks now with the formatting changing once my blog has been saved and published. AT RANDOM, the fonts will change to a smaller type. AT RANDOM, single spacing changes to double-spacing; double-spacing changes to single spacing. Indents go away. Indents suddenly appear. I HAVE CORRECTED AND CORRECTED, both manually and with HTML codes. Nothing I do fixes this problem permanently.

THIS IS COSTING ME A LOT OF TIME. I spend an hour trying to make sure my documents are formatted properly. I DO NOT want my readers reading a blog of any kind with my name attached to it that shows up not formatted properly. We have enough people who are terrible at typing and no nothing about how things should be formatted floating around out there. I used be a legal secretary, so form is everything to me.

PLEASE, please, fix this issue. The issues remind me of the problems I had with my office computer once. It needed to be, what they called, reimaged. Whatever you need to do, can you please correct this. It doesn’t seem to be anything I can control. The HTML codes don’t seem to be the problem. It’s almost as if WordPress is losing its programming features.

Thanks a lot. Please respond at your first opportunity. I don’t want to put something else out and its not formatted properly.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you copying and pasting into posts and pages?

In the vent that you are copying and pasting into the WordPress.com editor note what follows please.

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

Note you need to click the kitchen sink icon #15 at the end of Row 1 to have Row 2 appear. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-1

Go here and enable this > Settings > Writing
Formatting
_ WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
“save changes”

I recommend using Windows Live Writer for posting to your blog > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/
