Yes Graham. And I try to make it a practice to check MOS 03 and Word Help
before I come to a group but sometimes I do because I am not clear on the
help. I appreciate the way every version of Office gets better about linking
more minitutorials or help "lists" Why the smart tag opportunity to match
destination formatting and the other choices didn't show on this particular
paste is a mystery so I deleted it to repaste. Thanks much for your help.
I also tried to find a way to impose the smart tag on the paaste that was
curiously missing, but I couldn't make it happen to that particular paste.
I know there must be a way.

Chad

Is smart tags still turned on? Check Word help which covers the topic.

Thanks *very much for this*. It will be very helpful as will the link
for making a macro which is something I haven't done much and need to
get familiar with, but I'm wondering why normally when I paste I get
the smart tag with those 4 standard options and the radio button and
it didn't show up with the one past and if there is any way to evoke
the smart tag to it's usual place on the bottom of that paste?

Edit paste special unformatted text. should do the trick, but if
you want to duplicate the 'match destination formatting' option, use
the following macro:

Sub PasteWithDestinationFormatting()
Selection.PasteAndFormat
(wdFormatSurroundingFormattingWithEmphasis) End Sub

You can shortcut the paste unformatted option with a macro also:

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub

MOS 03 on an XP Pro SP2 box.

I have been pasting some lists off a web site into Word because I
want to save them, their links and their formatting.

Every time I pasted several lists, I got a smart tag at the bottom
of the paste that gave me some choices including "match destination
formatting." I found the size and style was what I wanted when I
chose that option. I just pasted another list and for some reason
that choice didn['t occur. Is there anyway to get that smart tage
list back so I can do the same thing as previously?

Tia,
