Trouble copying and pasting?

Sometimes when you copy from a source - like TeacherWeb - and paste into Google Sites, the line break code is not read. Therefore the text looks like one large run on sentence! If this happens, open Word or any Word Processing document. Paste the text into word. The copy the text from Word and paste into your site.
