Copy/Paste default formatting
Using Word 2002 in XP.
When I copy and paste text from one document into another, very often it is pasted with the original doc font and formatting rather than adopting that of the recipient document. There appears an option button that allows me to then select that the formatting be changed to that of the receiving doc, but it is not the default, thereby forcing me to constantly have to change it. Is there a way to make the default that the pasted text adopts the formatting of the document it is being pasted into? Jeff |

I found that tab screen, but do not see where I can tell Word to default the
paste to what is on the recieving document. Jeff Terry Farrell wrote: Tools, Options, Edit tab. "Jeff" wrote in message ... Using Word 2002 in XP.

I haven't got 2002 about to confirm the option, but in 2003 it was a button
at the bottom of the Edit Tab labeled Paste Options or something like that. Terry "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Copy/Paste default formatting
I think you're thinking of the setting that allows you to control the
wrapping of pasted/inserted pictures. The only thing relevant to text is whether or not the Paste Options button is shown. There are some Smart Cut and Paste settings (the Settings... button opens the Settings dialog), but the ones that deal with formatting have to do with material pasted from Excel or PowerPoint. -- Suzanne S.

That is correct. So, is there a way to make Word 2002 default to pasting in
the format of the receiving document instead of its present default of pasting in the format of the original document? Jeff Suzanne S.

Not that I know of. You can use a macro to paste unformatted text (such a
macro is posted in these newsgroups fairly often), or you can select this from the Paste Options button. -- Suzanne S.

I use Windows XP Pro. I had installed Lingvosoft English Turkish Dictionary
after installed Office 2007 Enterprise. When I right click in Word document I see dictionary buttons instead of Cut, Copy, Past . . . features. Thats why I have uninstalled Lingvosoft, but Word is the same still. How can I see Cut, Copy, Past and other features in Word 2007 when I select a text and right click? Thanks for your answers.

I suggest that your run the diagnostics which should repair Word. In Word,
click on the Office Icon (top left corner) and select Options (near the bottom). Chose Resources tab and then click on 'run Office Diagnostics'. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP negro wrote in message ... I use Windows XP Pro.

That's a problem then as the Ribbons are pretty much locked out of bounds to
mere mortals like us! Try renaming normal.dotx as normal.bad and restart Word. If it is still the same, it's a problem. I suggest that if a diagnostics has failed to work that you uninstall Office and then do a fresh install. Reboot in between though. I am not convinced it will definitely work, but it should.
