A Computer Question

I’ve noticed it’s impossible for me to post directly from MicroSoft Word to Blogger. I have to first copy it to Notepad, then to Blogger, which is a pain. Anyone who knows more about computers than I do (that’s all of you, by the way) willing to explain why this is, and if there is a fix for it? Just one of those things that bugs me.

Could it be something to do with all the extra html junk that Word adds? Or does nothing get copied across at all.

Yeah, it's the added code that Word uses. After getting off my lazy butt and doing some research, it seems there's no fix for it.

Yeah, that's a pain. MS Word has a "paste unformatted text" option (under "Paste Special" if I recall correctly), but no "copy as plain text". Seems to be a major oversight to me. You could always save the document as something other a '.doc' :/
