Not a problem in any way; I just noticed it looks like a second language to you. You have not provided a lot of information, but here are some things you can look at. If this does not help, come back and add more detail to what you want to happen. That will make it easier to help you. -------------- IF your chapters are all written with similar formatting, then the problem is probably that you are pasting into a new, blank document with different formatting applied. 1. Back up your files in case you have a problem. Work with the copies instead of the originals. This is the safest way. 2. Instead of starting with a new blank document, open the first chapter and use that to add the rest of the chapters to, using the instructions you gave. Now the formats should stop changing. ------------------ ------------------ IF you have different formatting in different chapters, then it is a different situation. When you Paste into a document, you can either bring the new documents along with it, OR have it take on the formatting of the current document. Open your Word document Go to the bottom of it. Click CTRL-END to be certain you are actually at the end of your document. The easiest way to explain the reason for that is: Sometimes the formatting problems you mention are because the Section Break is being put BEFORE the actual end of the document because you cannot see the extra white space that has built up. CTRL-End makes certain you really are at the end of the file and not just close to it. Select something to paste. Make it a small selection so it will be fast and easier to experiment with. Click Edit. Now look at the choices provided. You have Paste and Paste Special in the menu now. Click Paste Special and notice the new options available. "Formatted Text (RTF)" is probably the choise you want to make. That will bring the new formatting into the document along with the text. The RTF simply stands for Rich Text Format; it is the type of text you are going to Paste. If you want the Paste to have the same formatting as the current document, instead of the formatting where you did the Copy from, then use "unformatted text". ------------------- I think one of the two cases above may help you. If not, come back and explain what is happening and how you are doing it. Someone here better than I am will help I am sure. Respectfully, Pop |
