Could you be more specific, have you selected your theme in the admin section?

Could you provide some more details about what you're talking about? I still don't get what your problem is because typically, WordPress doesn't add styling on it's own (unless, you add it yourself).

When you create a new post Wordpress let's you view the post in "Visual" mode and "Text" mode. Check the text mode for html tags that can make the text look weird.
