    Hi,
    When trying to format text as blockquotes, I'm not able to select certain text to blockquote; instead, the whole post is formatted as one giant blockquote.  Any suggestions on how to only have the highlighted (or even just, the text I type after pressing the blockquote button) format as blockquote without everything else?

    Thanks!

    Is your whole post a single paragraph? Blockquote applies to the selected paragraph(s). If you're seeing it apply to paragraphs that aren't even selected, let us know...

    Hi Joe, thanks for responding to my question.

    It's applying to EVERYthing, regardless of where the cursor is, or what is highlighted.  The entire post becomes italized and shaded.  I am using a blogger template that includes block quote formatting, but I wouldn't think that would matter to the local Windows Live Writer editor--and this problem occurs locally on the computer, regardless of whether I'm previewing or editing or just writing in the program.

    Thanks for any help!

    PS - the whole post is several paragraphs, not just one.  This also occurs to different posts, not just a single post.  Thanks!

    Can you see if it's just related to your blog theme, by turning off themed editing (View | Edit using theme) and see if the problem still occurs? Thanks.
