 * I want to add content to an “About Us” page (or something similar). I’m not blogging.
   I’m cutting from MS word and pasting into WP using the “Visual” tab. I’m done
   adding and click on the “Preview Changes” and my new content is not displaying.
   I need to know the basic steps to saving the new content and viewing and publishing
   it. I’m a newbie so please dumb down a response 🙂 I know the steps that I’m 
   looking for must be easy but can’t find those basic steps in help.
 * TIA,
 * Mike

 * Have you tried using the “**Paste from Word**” button right above the text area
   of your post?
 * You can also paste your content from Word in here first: [http://word2cleanhtml.com/](http://word2cleanhtml.com/)
   and then copy the result to paste it back into WordPress.

 * Hi Senff,
 * Thank you very much for responding to my request for help. I did utilize the “
   Paste from Word” feature as well as your suggested word2cleanhtml site. The problem
   is when I add the content it’s not displaying when I go to Preview the changes.
   I must not be going through the correct steps to save the changes, previewing
   the changes and then publishing the changes. I’m using the SmallBiz template 
   if that matters. Any thoughts as to why I can’t preview my new content?

 * Do you have the same problem when you type “normal” content (not pasted from 
   Word)?
 * Sometimes, a preview is not fully representative of the actual page. When you
   publish your page, is the content also not visible?

 * Yes, same issue when I type “normal” content or NOT pasting. When I type in some
   content then click “Update” and then preview the same issue persists in that 
   the new content is not there. It’s as if I didn’t make any changes.

 * Regardless of previewing — is the content updated on the actual site? Or does
   it always revert to what it was before after you hit UPDATE?

 * try refreshing your browser, since browsers are lazy they will reach for an existing
   page in cashe,
 * right click on page and refresh,

 * Hi Senff, Sorry for the late response. I contacted the makers of the SmallBiz
   template for help. I updated my template to their latest version successfully
   today hoping that would solve the problem. Anyway it didn’t. I can view the new
   content in my WP dashboard in the page but NOT on the published site even after
   I hit update and then refresh. The actual site shows no updates or any changes.
   So as of tonight I’m still confused.
