"Article I" appears in front of headings
When copying text from emails or articles from Internet into a Word document,
the words "Article I," "Article II," etc. appear in front of headings. How do stop/prevent this? |

"Article I" appears in front of headings
Word is automatically applying a Heading style (most likely Heading 1) to the
"headings" from the copied content, and this Heading style is defined to be numbered using "Article I", etc. You can address this by either modifying the Heading style to have no numbering or by pasting the copied content as plain text. There are a couple of ways to do the second, but perhaps the easiest is to paste the content into a text editor like NotePad (which will strip out all formatting), and then copy and paste this clean content into a Word document. Other methods may be available depending on the version of Word you are using, including Edit | Paste Special... - Unformatted Text. -- Cheers!

First, this could also be caused by using a numbering scheme that's linked
to the heading styles. More than likely the copied content already has the heading styles applied and the source document utilizes the numbering scheme. In this situation the numbering isn't defined in the style. To rectify this scenario, place the insertion point in a paragraph formatted with the heading style, display the Numbering gallery and click "None". Second, if the document already utilizes the the linked numbering scheme then pasted as unformatted text or attempts to strip the formatting prior to pasting won't make a difference because as soon as a Heading style is applied the numbering scheme will reappear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Gordon Bentley-Mix" gordon(dot)bentleymix(at)gmail(dot)com wrote in message ...
