I copied a form onto my word document as a cover page. My open document

Hi Sue,
When you copy & paste paragraphs from one document to another, the style definitions in the source document take on the attributes of the same styles in the target document. Thus, if you have a style named 'MyStyle' in both documents, but it's formatted as 12pt Times Roman with a 12pt lead in the source but as 10pt Courier New Bold with an 18pt lead in the target, anything copied from a 'MyStyle' paragraph in the source will appear in 10pt Courier New Bold with an 18pt lead when pasted into the target. Since you obviously need to preserve the formatting from the source, you could export its style definitions to the target. This would, of course mean that anything using those styles in the target will now adopt the source style attributes, which you may not want. Alternatively, you could rename the styles used in the source with names that aren't used in the target. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "SueBQBRNMSN" wrote in message ...
