Word Processing Frustrations

Okay, so I'm currently not real pleased with the apparent formatting limitations of my blogger word processor. Every time I use enter for a return, it skips a space, which makes for some airy-looking poetry (see my 1 October haiku). I don't like this, so I'm trying an experiment. I'm going to type that same haiku in Word and try two things: 1) pasting it directly from Word into the blog processor and 2) composing in Word and then using Word's blog publishing function. Let's see how it works.

Night, windy with leaves—
filled with song and beer, I drive
through the dark mountains.

All right. That was posted directly from text typed into Word and then pasted to the "Edit HTML" window of the blog.
