copying and using destination document formatting
I'm using Word 2007 and I want to copy sections of one document to another
and have the copied sections change to the formatting, etc. of the document I'm copying to (keep the formatting of the destination document). Some of what I want to copy over includes bulleted paragraphs, which I want to keep as bulleted paragraphs but using the destination document's font, font size, bold, not bold, etc. I know this involves using copy - paste special but can someone give me more specifics? thanks |

If you are using styles and not direct formatting in your document, also and especially styles for your numbered/bulleted paragraphs, then by copying a paragraph from one document to another, you can select "destination formatting" when pasting and are done. A paragraph that was in style "Normal" before will still be in that style, but it might look quite differently because this style has other properties in the destination document. Same for a bulleted paragraph (when you use and define the style "List bullet" in both document), etc. HTH Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MSFT | \ / | MVP | Scientific Reports X Against HTML | for | with Word? / \ in e-mail & news | Word | http://www.masteringword.eu/ |
