Text Wrangler
To strip Microsoft Word formatting from poems, copy each poem’s text and paste it into Text Wrangler. Then, from the menu at the top, select Text > Prefix/Suffix Lines. In the box that pops up, make sure “insert” is selected and then add <p> as the prefix and </p> as the suffix. After clicking OK, paste the result into WordPress. You’ll then be able to use the indent button in WordPress’ editor on individual lines.
