Some WA members are using MS Words for writing their posts. The advantage of Words lies in its powerful grammar check and its instant edition of synonyms. The disadvantage of Words is that the inserted text gets automatically formatted with some coding, which is ill supported by most web design and development applications. When you copy a text written with Words and paste it into a blog post editor it very well can happen, that once published your post can’t be read properly, which makes it necessary for you to re-edit it.
Now, to avoid this hassle, there is a very easy solution provided by Words itself. When going to the home ribbon you will see an icon with the picture of the “A” character being erased (see below).
