I am trying to copy a large amount of formatted text from one document
into another. The document into which I am pasting the text has its own
template with its own page layouts. Despite this, when I paste in the
text from the source document, the page layouts of the source document
are copied as well. I can find no way of applying the page layouts of
the target document after the text has been pasted in.

I'm really at my wits' end with this. The annoying thing is that I know
I've pasted text into documents in the past without any problem.

Every day I spend using Word, the more in awe I am of how so many
person-hours could have been devoted to producing something so utterly,
/utterly/ useless :
