What kind of formatting are you trying to keep?
For headers and footers, margins, etc, the key is section breaks. See here for an explanation and a fix. http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...ectionInfo.htm If you mean text formatting, see he http://shaunakelly.com/word/styles/F...xtChanges.html On 9/9/05 8:35 AM, "JDIH" wrote: If I import a word file into a new document it takes on the format of the new document - how do it keep the old files original format.
