# WordPress Blocks Editor

 * I’ve recently updated WordPress and found a new editor called blocks. Seems simple
   enough but when I view my work, some blocks go all the way across the page and
   some stop midway.
 * How do I control this? Just plugging in content and I get random paragraphs of
   each.
    Thank you! Laurence

 * Hello Laurence,
 * Could you add a link to the page please? I’d love to help but need to get an 
   idea of what is being applied to those objects.

 * Thanks Graham!
    As you can see the first paragraph runs the full length while
   the next paragraph stops half way.

 * Sorry Graham, The site is a membership site so the page doesn’t show unless you
   are logged in. I can replicate it here.
 * The first paragraph runs across the page as it should without any special limitations
   until it reaches the right margin and then starts a new line.
 * While the next paragraph
    only goes half way and then returns to a new line. 
   How Can this be controlled?
 * All I did was copy and paste from a word document. Could that be what is causing
   it? If so, then how do I remove it or how can I change it. I really appreciate
   any help on this as I’m wishing I hadn’t updated since the old version of Worpress
   was working fine.
 * Cheers!

 * Ok, I got it. The old editor didn’t copy word document junk but this new editor
   does. So I have to get rid of the junk via an added step. But the editor is so
   simple that it will save time overall.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Try holding SHIFT when you paste. So on Windows, it’s SHIFT-CTRL-V. That usually
   will paste without formatting, so should paste without that “word document junk”.
