I am not sure if it is just me or what, but I always have a problem with writing articles and saving it in notepad or wordpad and then when I want to post it to my blog, and I copy n paste, the formatting goes bonkers on me. The one font will be different from the font used for bulleted information. I am not sure what to do or with what to stick. Perhaps I should stick with a certain font and when I write the article, use a specific font? Plus nevermind that... when I copy and paste my articles, I can NEVER do A double spacing like I just did now. It will only allow me one spacing before the next sentence. So frustrating!!!!!!!!!! Any advice?
You'll have to edit the core style.css or single.Php or post.Php or page.Php for a better implementation or css/coding. Or, you'll have to write the actual post in a html editor and paste the actual code in wp. If you want to do it yourself then keep us informed if anything you are changing is messed up or not. Otherwise if you want then you can hire pro services from me and i will find you a proper solution for sure.
If you want to format your article nicely, you must have knowledge of HTML Use the <br /> tag (http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_br.asp)
with notepad you should not be having any problems as it is mostly a pure text editor so when suing any external editor you should just use plain text. a better option would to be as suggest get to use a html editor and paste the html, however not mentioned above is the wordpress "kitchen sink" this adds more functionality such as header tags etc and gived you more control on the visual impact
The visual editor built in WP is not a fully html converting one, as you have noticed with the double spacing thing. When you copy and paste, make sure you are in the Visual Editor. User <br> tags to insert more than a single line spacing between paragraphs. (has to be done in HTML Editor)
