How to Match Destination Formatting
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, Chad Harris |

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 See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chad Harris wrote: MOS 03 on an XP Pro SP2 box.

Graham--
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?

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

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 ______________________ "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Is smart tags still turned on?
