Default retaining website formatting when copying to word document

I use Office For Mac 2004.
I've not been able to copy items from a website without losing the
formatting--it all just ends up as one big long paragraph in the new word
document. And clicking on "keep source formatting" from the little clipboard
at the end of the paragraph does nothing.
I've looked in preferences and can find nothing to fix this problem.
What can I do?
Thanks.

Default retaining website formatting when copying to word document

Hi Pianoman,

It's going to depend a great deal on how the website was laid out on what happens when you put the text into Word. What you're
seeing is a surface view, forumlated for browser use. Word may expose the 'underpinnings' when you paste, but you may want to use
the link below to also post the question in the Word:mac discussion group and include a URL for a web page that you're trying to
copy.
