Your web browser's copy-paste is broken: you wanted "paste and match style" (ctrl+shift+V) rather than "paste" (ctrl+V).

Thanks. I tried to fix it but using your advice but it doesn't seem to work. What does it look like for you?

Fixed. (If you open HTML view, you could see the code that overrides default style settings.)

Many thanks. I'll just type directly on LW next time to avoid problems.

Better is to paste into a plaintext editor(Notepad etc.), then copy from there to LW; this removes all formatting.

Basically, you're pasting in text with HTML tags which force a particular style.

Specifically, your paragraphs look like this:

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">On questions of simple fact (for example, whether Earthly life arose by natural selection)
