   I have had problems with the wysiswyg editor in WordPress too! It seems alot of people have. I first encountered this problem when I tried to cut and paste a document from Ms-Word to my blog using the RTE ROFLMAO. You can’t do it. I was advised to disable the RTE and use the basic editor. Also (bear with me here) to cut and paste from Word to a plain text editor and then into the basic editor to post. Fine, but now I am left with the basic editor tags. Of course it is intuitive that b=bold, etc, but what do I do with “img” and does “code” turn on html?

   I am trying to google all this right now and your blog turned up in my search.

   BTW Steve absolutely rocks! I hope his wrist gets better.

   Wow, talk about going to the wayback machine! This post is ancient! :)

   But anyway, so yeah, you should be able to use all the IMG tags, as well as most other basic HTML coding once you turn off the WYSIWIG editor. Once you paste from ANY document, MS Word or the Web or whatever, it should show up in your blog as simple text and basic HTML can be applied. It does have a couple of shortcuts – when you use an Enter, it automatically ads a BR / to the entry. The only exception is if you’re using LI code for a bulleted list – if you want spaces between the bullets, you have to ad a BR / code in between the LI codes.

   Another trick I’ve found is that when I cross-post from another blog, I look at their code (View – Page source) and cut and paste that, which will take over all codes and links and formatting and whatnot.

   Hope this helps! Thanks for the feedback, and glad I could help!
