Dbranes answers:

when I paste the document (opened in Word 2003) into WP (via the Word filter) I get very large lines in the preview, fx:

The revered Ganga river dolphin will soon disappear from India’s longest river. Joydeep Gupta calls for urgent action against the perils of pollution and dwindling water flow and dangerous fishing techniques.


where   is used for space.

Pasting the code first into fx. the "Notepad" editor should clean all the format.

For me I always remove formatting from document using word, then copy-paste to wordpress without any problem (paste directly to wordpress without using the word icon). here is how to remove formatting from a word document:

Or sometimes I just copy from word and paste to notepad, then copy from notepad to Wordpress, but I prefer the first way because it maintains the basic formatting: paragraphes and unordored lists etc...
Good luck.

You can delete HTML tags from Word with this code:

function cleanWordHTML($html) {
$html = ereg_replace("<(/)?(font|span|del|ins)[^>]*>","",$html);

$html = ereg_replace("<([^>]*)(class|lang|style|size|face)=("[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>]+)([^>]*)>","<\1>",$html);
$html = ereg_replace("<([^>]*)(class|lang|style|size|face)=("[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>]+)([^>]*)>","<\1>",$html);

return $html
}
