I tried copying your text into Notepad, correcting to what I presume are the missing bits of punctuation. Some apostrophes, some dashes, I think.

Whether I did an import into Word or just copied/pasted, I did get the blocks. I'm using Word 365 for Windows. I'm presuming Notepad's special characters aren't sympatico with Office's.

If you're using a device that doesn't have Office and are then transferring your text to use into Word, I suggest you use another text program. Perhaps Google Docs would work better, if you're inputting into your phone. WordPad, which came on my computer as did Notepad, copy/pastes with no loss of characters.

By the way, I picture babies as children too young to walk, so walking into a candy store would be surprising.
