Formatting problems when cutting and pasting into Word 2007
Many times when I try to cut and paste from one document to another, it's as
if I also unwittingly paste some "phantom formatting" from the old document which ruins the formatting on my new document. For example, I am working with a pre-existing pleading paper document (who knows when it was created) and when I tried to cut and paste paragraphs from another document (also on pleading paper of dubious origin) into the new one, the formatting on my new document changes so that the pleading line numbers moved to the inside of the vertical left margin lines. The weird thing is that both dcouments are on pleading paper with the line numbers on the OUTSIDE of the vertical lines where they belong. My fix up to this point has been to open a blank document and start the whole darn thing over again, very frustrating and very time-consuming. thanks in advance! -- Delia |

2007 should have the option to paste special as plain text which should
avoid formatting conflicts - in any case the following macro should work Sub PasteUnfText() On Error GoTo oops Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _ wdInLine End oops: Beep End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Delia wrote: Many times when I try to cut and paste from one document to another, it's as if I also unwittingly paste some "phantom formatting" from the old document which ruins the formatting on my new document.

And the light bulb went on! (of course your little macro thing went right
over my head - but hopefully I won't need it!). Thanks so much - too many new features in 2007 and not enough time! -- Delia "Graham Mayor" wrote: 2007 should have the option to paste special as plain text which should avoid formatting conflicts - in any case the following macro should work Sub PasteUnfText() On Error GoTo oops Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _ wdInLine End oops: Beep End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Delia wrote: Many times when I try to cut and paste from one document to another, it's as if I also unwittingly paste some "phantom formatting" from the old document which ruins the formatting on my new document.

Formatting problems when typing on pleading paper.
I got your below message when I was searching for formatting pleading paper.
I'm having trouble keeping the typed information lined up with the numbers of the lines.
