Pasting from A4 to A3 changes page setup. How to avoid?
Hi all,
Using Word 2003. Topic is a student newspaper. Some of them want to build it on A3 pages. The problem is they are arranged in groups, and in each group each student writes their own article. Then these articles are circulated among the members so that each one produces their own newspaper. We tried to copy/paste from an A4 article into an A3 newspaper. Pasting changes the destination document Page Setup to A4, that of the source. Is this always expected to be the case? Any tricks to avoid this? I tried the Paste Special... option but it does not seem to provide a solution. Any ideas? TIA Kostis Vezerides |

Don't include the final paragraph mark of the source document, which
contains formatting information that applies to the entire document (paper size, margins, etc.). If the source document contains any section breaks, don't include them either -- copy/paste only the content between the section breaks but not the breaks themselves. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...xtChanges.html for more detailed explanation. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. vezerid wrote: Hi all, Using Word 2003.
