FYI, I KNOW they’re different, thanks for your condescension. My other sites are hosted elsewhere on .org software.

But I was hoping that someone on the forum would be gracious and share the solution. I’m sure there’s a plugin (which, yes, comes from the .org site that sources the code) that will correct my situation.

Sorry, forgot to say. Yes, I am admin. There are no other admins.

Edit: Let me rephrase that. I SHOULD be, USED to be, admin.

Fourth attempt didn’t work. Waited the 20 minutes, tried again, and it took.

(@#&%)_B)(W, Open Office doesn’t work either.

Nope, it’s still not working. All formatting is still removed, and while I can reformat in WP, there’s no point in it.

I may redownload Open Office Writer and see if I can use that instead of Word. I’m not always where I have internet access so that I can work directly in WP, and I often write posts over several days, so I’d rather work from a static, offline word processing program.

Incidentally, copying and pasting into a copy editor program such as Notepad removed the formatting, so there’s no point in doing that. I’ve been muddling along with reformatting for a good eight months now, so I suppose I can keep it up.

I have just installed the Tiny MCE Advanced, which I had been avoiding doing because of the comments in other forum posts about it not working to fix this problem. (Forgot to mention that. But I am hoping that perhaps that referred to an earlier version of Tiny MCE.)

Will report back. And thanks very much.

By the way, the first link doesn’t seem to be applicable. Perhaps it takes the Tiny MCE for it to work.

I just now logged out, cleared my cache and cookies AGAIN (the earlier attempt was yesterday), restarted my computer, logged back in — and yippee, Dashboard is now living again.

Don’t know what the difference was since I had done all those tasks before, but not at the same time.

CRAP.

Thanks so much, esmi.
