Sounds to me like you were asking a junior high question and getting a college level answer. Grant tried to tell you the best way to accomplish what you were trying to do. Just because you didn’t like the answer doesn’t mean you get to belittle his. This is supposed to be a cooperative effort. If you don’t like what you’re getting here, there are many other blogging courses you can avail yourself of.

If you are using a Mac, MarsEdit is awesome. I do all of my blog post with it.

I use an HTML editor kompozer, when I want to make sure I get as close to the final product as I can and paste the source into the HTML tab. http://kompozer.sourceforge.net.

This allows me to work with a number of templates, pages, etc… to get the look and feel I am going after

But I think that this horse is dead.

Actually, I think you got the answer — you don’t NEED a plugin. Just copy and paste but you’ll have trouble with the formatting. Even if you use the paste from Word you’ll have trouble since WP will reformat things on you.

You can try using the HTML tab on the editor to reduce some of the problem if you are copying and pasting the HTML.

If you want a way to bypass the WP editor completely then that is another question. To do any work on a post you will find the editor will mess with your code, even if you use the HTML tab.
