Email subscribers are telling me (and I see it in my email feed too)
that random words are missing the spaces that should be between them.
Since my blog is about writing and editing, this is especially
problematic.

Has anyone been able to solve this?

The posts on the actual blog are not affected.

Hi, If you are copying from another source, you might want to put it
into a word processing program first to remove the existing formatting
so you can add yours. Sometimes too, if you have done it up in a word
processing program and copied it (especially MS Word) there are
formatting issues in the transfer. If you are typing directly into
your blog, you might check it in the html version to ensure the spaces
are there. Hope this gives some insight.

Thanks, Susan. I write in Word, then copy over. When I run it through
Plain Text first, that solves the missing spaces problem, but it also
strips all the links I've put in and I have to put them in again over
in Blogger. When you say "check the html version" - I'm lost. How
would I even know if the spaces are coded properly? - Lisa

Hi again, I've had the same problem with doing this and links. I
actually have one document (I use Open Office, but Word works too)
with my links that I want to keep and copy those into where I want
them. It's a couple of extra steps, but my formatting and links work
well then. I also found that I can clear formatting (not convert to
default or anything else) by selecting all bu the hyperlinks it also
works. It eliminates the extra step with the separate links page. Hope
this helps you. Susan http://whalesanddolphinsbc.com

Thanks; I'm going to experiment w/different fixes this weekend. My
son has a few ideas. I'll let you know if any of them work any
better,
thanks, Lisa

Just to let you know that I'm also corresponding with someone in the
feeds & syndication forum who has the same sort of problem, so you
might want to follow that as well. Susan http://whalesanddolphinsbc.com
