When I copy and paste, ie, 4 lines of text from MS Word to FaceBook, one word will appear on several lines then the rest of the test follow on subsequent lines, 2 or 3 blank lines then symbols appear I have not typed... Can Webroot fix this problem?

Hello mgibbs70, welcome to the Community!
 
This does not sound like a problem that ANY AV can fix.. it sounds like a font problem.  Quite simply, I think you may be using a font in Word that is not supported in Facebook or your browser.  There are a couple of options.
 
1) Make sure you are using a 'standard' font.  Most likely plain Arial will work fine.
 
2) Sometimes in order to avoid issues with font and size when doing a copy/paste, I will paste into NOTEPAD first, then recopy and paste into the browser.  This usually works quite well :)
