MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / December 2003Preserving formatting
How do I keep Word from deciding what the formatting ought to be? I have documents where I wish to paste material and have it show up in exactly the same font, size, color, ect. as the original, but Word cleverly decides to change it. How do I make it leave the text looking the way I had it? And please, DON'T TELL ME HOW TO CHANGE IT BACK! I HAVE NO INTEREST IN PASTING DOZENS OF PIECES OF TEXT, AND FORMATTING EACH ONE AS I GO! I NEED A GENERAL SOLUTION, EITHER: a)It leaves the text alone; or b)The text I paste in a certain location automatically shows up in a certain font and style, regardless of what the 'normal' template is or what the programmer thought I ought to want to put there.

Yes, I read it. It doesn't tell me how to preserve the formatting. It appears to give that information, but it doesn't work. Or maybe it does, if you understand something that the author knows, but I don't, and which isn't in the article. Now, is there anyone who can tell me what to do to preserve formatting, without presuming that I know something I don't know. Something along the lines of: "Do a, b, and c, and the formatting will always be preserved, no matter what it was, and what you are pasting it into." ??? >-----Original Message----- >Did you read the article?

If you have that, this might be something for you to try. Else: Word don't works the way you expect it to be. 2cents .bob ..Word-MVP ...sometimes, when you are faced with a complex problem and search for too simple an answer, you really do get it!
