paste special unformatted text
When using the EditPaste SpecialUnformatted Text option in the middle of a
paragraph that, for example, is bold, the pasted text is also bold. Is this by design in Word (2003) or should the pasted text be "unformatted" with no bold by design? Thanks ahead of time for your advice! Mariann |

paste special unformatted text
Hi Mariann,
This is by design so that, instead of being pasted with whatever attributes the text originally had, it adopts the attributes of the range it's pasted into.

paste special unformatted text
Thanks so much. Just to be clear: what then is the difference on the paste
options menu between "Match Destination Formatting" and "Keep Text Only?" I'm guessing that "Keep Text Only" only works in a paragraph that has no formatting or in an "empty" paragraph that has the "normal" style (assuming the normal has no formatting) applied? And, would the best way to teach others how this works be to then use the "ctrl+spacebar" to take off any formatting it applies? Thanks again for helping to clear this up for me.

I think one of the differences is that Keep Text Only removes things like
Tables (converts them to Text), pictures, and other non-text objects. "msiegert" wrote: Thanks so much.

Hi Mariann,
I don't have those options (Word 2000), so I can't comment. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "msiegert" wrote in message ... | Thanks so much.
