Pasting text file into post with IE7

  • I have two wordpress sites, the first is is a standard blog where the text is typed directly into the post, it displays fine in both chrome and IE7.

    The next is a short story sight where we cut the text out of word and paste it into the post. It works fine with chrome BUT using windows 7 and IE7 the text runs out of the text box on the right so that only the start of each paragraph is seen on each line. Their is no html coding in the text.

    the first sight that works is: advicefrommom.net

    the one that does not work is: advicefrommom.net/cjswritings

    Don’t paste content from Microsoft Word into WordPress as the pasted text will also contain Word’s own formatting. Sooner or later, this formatting will stop your pages from being displayed correctly (if at all) in Internet Explorer. If you cannot possibly manage without Word, paste your text into NotePad (or another text editor) first, then copy from NotePad into WordPress.

    Or use Windows LiveWriter.

    OK I tested it through note pad and I had my wife type a paragraph in directly. Both DID NOT work. It is not a cut and past problem. The first website works OK, I don’t know what the difference between the two. I down loaded the second site fresh, instaled the same template, loaded the same ad banners.

    Well you could try sorting out some of the 44 validation errors on the second page example.

    Looking at the validation errors I could see that most of them were from the ADBRITE ad, looking at the web site I noticed that the single ad was not even showing up in the single post. I removed the ADBRITE code for the single post and every thing is working fine now.

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
