Sharing this from Jane to help others struggling with the new WP blocks.
Mike Powell has just proved that he is not only a talented photographer and knows his stuff about birds and insects (go and look, here). He is also a technical detective/wizard/ferret. Alone, single handed and with only his patience and curiosity and the tenacity of a terrier, he has discovered the way, in a single click, to circumvent the blocks.
For those of us who use Mac and Word, it has been impossible to get the new editor to accept a post formatted in the way we see it in Word. It strips it of spacing where we do want it and adds double spaces between the lines of poetry where we don’t.

Oh. I think you can keep doing that.
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
You always know the inside scoop, Merril. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome. I only know because Jane shared it. 😀
Since I don’t use Word I won’t even try to follow this 🙂
Well, you’ve already mastered WP. But I’m surprised you don’t use Word.
I use a Mac
I do, too. 😀 I’ve always used a Mac.
