Photo test: Mocking "LL"

Okay, I give up. This glitch must have something to do with Word.

I typed my story in Word and (stupidly) pasted the HTML text from photobucket into the story as well as several HTML codes (like italics). I keep getting errors when I tried pasting it here. I think Word must have added something to something because these are the exact photos that should be in the Post Mortem story but neither MAC nor PC will let me paste them there.

Damn Word. Damn Windows.

 
I think you're right. Word adds its own special sauce, and

when you go to convert lines of Word text into html (i.e., for InDesign), for example, it always, always results in layers of unnecessary crap (which I would call "code," except that I've been told that I use the term incorrectly; hence "crap"). Best to just build the html around the text (or, in your case, photos) yourself.

Not that I learned this the hard way, or anything.

 
Yes, often one cannot paste from Word to online, must be text only then paste

Save it as a .txt file or in Notepad, then paste.

 
Success! Thanks Maria & Erin!! I copied my story out and pasted it into Notepad

Then I pasted it right back into the Post Mortem post (hopefully eliminating the excess Word poop), copied out the photo html text from the test posts and embedded them.

And now it works.

Thank you for the solution!
