Bold not working, font changing, alignment changing
I built a fax wizard, and tried to cut and past my info from the top of my
resume. However, when I pasted it some forn changed to from Times New Roman to Arial, the alignment of the whole thing became different, the size of the letters changed, and some bold letters changed to unbold. When I tried to fix the bold like I usually do (select whole group of words and push bold once or twice to eventually make it all bold) the words that were bold became unbold and the unbold became bold. Is there some property that needs to be turned off to make bold not do the reverse of whatever bold state it is in? And is there a property that makes stuff cut paste exactly the same? |

Bold not working, font changing, alignment changing
Hi c&p
Cut and paste wrote: I built a fax wizard, you mean a fax template, or an actual wizard? and tried to cut and past my info from the top of my resume. However, when I pasted it some forn changed to from Times New Roman to Arial, the alignment of the whole thing became different, the size of the letters changed, and some bold letters changed to unbold. "Works as designed!" :-) Word is build that, as per default, pasted text takes on the formatting of the document it's pasted into. Or rather: the styles in the target document rule over the styles in the source. You can explore Edit | Paste Special to see whether you get a better result with another option there. If you fax this document "traditionally,", then printing out your resume and fax it on a 2nd sheet is the easiest approach. Pasting the stuff in and restyling it might not take much more time, though. HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Bold not working, font changing, alignment changing
Hi ?B?Q3V0IGFuZCBwYXN0ZSwgYm9sZCBub3Qgd29ya2luZyBwcm 9wZXJseQ==?=,
I built a fax wizard, and tried to cut and past my info from the top of my resume. However, when I pasted it some forn changed to from Times New Roman to Arial, the alignment of the whole thing became different, the size of the letters changed, and some bold letters changed to unbold. When I tried to fix the bold like I usually do (select whole group of words and push bold once or twice to eventually make it all bold) the words that were bold became unbold and the unbold became bold. Is there some property that needs to be turned off to make bold not do the reverse of whatever bold state it is in? And is there a property that makes stuff cut paste exactly the same? From the sound of it, you're running into the formatting / styles of the target document overriding what you're pasting in. If you want to retain the formatting from your resume, you need to define a set of unique styles in that document that contain that formatting. Then the style will copy with the text. The behavior you're seeing with the "bold" is because "bold" (and italics and some other formatting) is a "toggle" format. You may first need to remove all direct formatting before you can apply the bold "evenly": select the text and press Ctrl-Spacebar. If you need more assistance, you have to tell us which version of Word you're using.
