Problem With Article.

Hello. I am trying to find why I am having a problem uploading an article.

I have an article written and it looks good in Word. As soon as I put it on a article site the words all change to random letters and symbols.

I have posted an attachment picture. That whole paragraph was normal until I put it in an article submission site.

Please help.

How can I stop this from happening?

Thank you!

    Are you using an English language setting for your computer? Other than that, I would try copying and pasting it into Notepad first, and then copying it from Notepad if that somehow removes the random formatting and symbols.

      Word processor documents contain hidden code which does not work well when copying into a website environment.

      As Daniel has mentioned, simply copy into Notepad, and then copy and paste from Notepad onto the website. Notepad strips out all the hidden code!

    Agreed, copy and paste to Notepad is the method I normally use.

    If you're posting the article on your own WordPress site then open the second line of the toolbar and use the "paste as text" option.

    Quite a few article sites (including EzineArticles) have the option to copy from Word and let their software handle all the mess it creates behind the scenes.

    I am also suggest you to first drop it on notepad and then then try to upload it. It will work.

    Hey guys. I have tried to put it into notepad (no luck) then I did the past from word option (no luck).

    I am trying to post this on EZine articles.

    When I put it into the body of the article it looks great, as soon as I go to preview the article it all changes to the crazy looking stuff.



    I have attached two pictures.

      did you try to change the typing font? maybe the platform does not recognize it.
      less probable, but maybe it works.
