I just updated to 1801.2. Now my text is different when published from the program. When words wrap to the next line, a hard carriage return breaks up the line with a blank line in the middle. Also, some of the text appears bold. I had a similar problem when first installing v18, but hat was fixed with a DPI setting.

Provide a demo or a link to your page so we can see the problem.

There are 2 pages and a master. One page shows the paragraph formatting issue and the other the bold text. Images might be missing, but related to the problem.

Have you done a clearing of the cache in your browser (usually Ctrl-F5)?

Images are not related to the problem

I have cleared the cache and tried with other browsers. I did not publish, only previewed.

It looks like the text was copied from another source? Because it has incorrect formatting (indenting, line spacing etc).
Also, you have used a strange way of adding spacing around the text (using empty lines) which make the text output somewhat unpredictable.
The correct way to add spacing around text is by using padding.

This means I will have to redo my entire website. It was created in WYSIWYG several versions ago, and it worked fine until V18. Is there a work around without retyping everything?

I was able to fix the paragraph formatting by changing the text properties to "publish text as image". The other page is a table. How do I change the text in the table to publish as image?

It may have worked in previous versions but that does not mean it was correct.
The best solution is to remove the invalid formatting and use padding instead.
So, I suggest to solve it it the right way so it will also continue to work in future versions.
Any other 'fix' may just be a temporarily workaround.
In the next update, I will add an extra a check for this, so you can more easily remove the invalid formatting via the 'Remove formatting' command.

Thanks. I'm in the process of correcting it.

In the meantime, I have released an hot-fix with the new functionality to make this easier.
- download and install today's build
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/download.html
- while in text edit mode, select all text and right click for the context menu then select 'Remove formatting'.
This should remove the offsets, spacing etc from the selected text.
Note that this will not remove empty lines, you will have to do that manually.
- after that you can add the spacing round the text using 'padding'
