Any time I've ever copy and pasted anything I've typed up in Word into LJ's HTML posting box, it puts in a TON of extra code relating to the fonts and formatting.
Even opening a word doc in Notepad gives me funny characters. Maybe it's something with how you have Word set up to handle HTML markup. *shrug* Microsoft is notorious for trying to make everything "web friendly" but screwing up royally, like when they released Outlook 2007, which uses Word to display web content, and since Word is a word processor, not a browser, it tends to not like certain strings of code very much. lol.
