The problem seems to have resolved itself on all browsers. I can’t explain how.

I’m no html expert, but my WordPress blog also had the problem of displaying <!–[endif]–> in the body of posts and losing the sidebar in Internet Explorer. (Firefox and Safari are fine.) I solved it by editing each problematic post in WordPress using html. Wherever I found code beginning with:
<!–[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument>
and ending with
<!–[endif]–>
I deleted it. This makes the post look normal in IE. Once you have fixed every post on the page, the sidebar returns.

How ironic that two of Microsoft’s competitors, Mozilla and Apple, have no trouble dealing with the code from Word, but Microsoft’s own browser can’t handle it.

I have a very similar problem, but causing the opposite problem. Under settings>reading>”Syndication feeds show the most recent” I have put “2” in the box. But when I later went to subscribe to my own feed to test it, I was shown 26! Something is causing WordPress 2.5 to ignore whatever number is set there, or else I don’t understand something. Is there a way to manually change it in the code?
