Sometimes, advice provided in Blogger Help Forum: Get Help with an Issue, comes too late.
Telling people to avoid use of MS Word, for composing posts, is one example of "too late". But maybe this delinquency can be repaired.
Blogger provides the the page / post editor "Remove formatting" tool ("Tx"), for removing unwanted formatting.
When you've just published your post - and can't figure out why the formatting is all whacky - or maybe you can't get the post successfully passed through a FeedBurner feed - the most obvious way to correct the post is to use Notepad, or a similar text editor.
But that's a pain, and it's rather complicated. Maybe there's an easier solution.
Like an over edited post - or a victim of too much switching between Compose and HTML modes - the "Remove formatting" tool ("Tx") might save you, here.
Select everything in the page / post.
And use the editor "Remove formatting" tool ("Tx").
As in the previous example, you may have to spend a few hours adding essential formatting back. But with MS Word meta formatting, aren't you better off getting rid of all of that, at once?
Some #Blogger blog owners publish posts full of junk meta formatting, courtesy of MS Word - then look for a quick solution. Copying out then back, using Notepad / WordPad, or a similar text editor is the most obvious solution - but it's a painfully complicated one.
Maybe this is another case when the page / post editor "Remove formatting" tool can save the day.
Besides the somewhat predictable cases of blogs with lots of text and / or pictures, comes a third possibility for problems with Auto Pagination - excessively complex HTML. We've noted before that Microsoft Word generates a lot of complex and mysterious HTML - and some large blogs, which contain a lot of articles composed under Microsoft Word, appear to be suffering from segmentation - possibly without justification.My blog was BIG, and no one ever, not once, complained it was slow loading.
It's (almost) unbelievable how long Google is taking to flick the switch and restore things to how they were pre auto-pagination.
and the replyIt appears that you have done a lot of copy-pasting from MS Word into your blog, and unfortunately doing so will add a very large amount of unseen (but still 'heavy') HTML tags to your post.
If you look at the source code of this very short post (http://naturealert.blogspot.com/2010/02/bbc-news-panorama-palm-oil-products-and.html), you will notice the huge amount of garbage that MS Word adds.
If your blog is big (but not that big), and lacks huge amounts of text and / or pictures - and you're still seeing segmentation of the archives or main page - and you use MS Word for composing your posts, this is a possible reason why your blog display is being segmented.
Whether Blogger can actually filter MS Word ML code, before generating the blog display pages, is an interesting question. You might be better off removing all MSWord generated meta code on your own, if possible. Better yet - always paste content, unformatted (Ctrl+Shift+V).
