   I'm having a problem with the built-in HTML editor for description products.
If I end up writing something like this, all aligned, with the fonts setup:
   Juliane Grace
     Antique Brass
    18" (approximately) Long Pull

  Dimensions:
      Length : 18" Center to Center
  Overall Length: 20"
   Width: 1 3/4"
   Projection: 2"

      This product is non-returnable

and then I try to copy and paste it into another product and change the wording, everything ends up changing, the fonts, alignment, color... to something like this:

          Solid Brass
                       Antique Brass
            18" (approximately) Long Pull

                         Lenght and Width:
             Length : 18" Center to Center
                      Width: 1 3/4"
                   Projection: 56"

                   This product is as gifted.

even though in the html editor it shows everything is fine, on the webpage it ends up showing something completely different! If I copy and paste from Word or even Dreamweaver it gets even worse, whether the words or code.

What can I possibly do to always have the same format?

	Please post a link to your site so that we can have a look at the markup. Definitely never copy and paste from a work processor, a web page, or from an editor in design view as that will copy over a bunch of styling you won't want.

	Once you have the text looking as you would like it in the HTML editor view, go back to the edit product page and then copy the resulting HTML (So NOT directly from the HTML editor). That should then paste OK.

	Also note that you have CSS in your header that is not in the HTML editor.
