Pasting between documents changes font size
Example: two open documents (A and B). I select some 12 point size text in
A, copy it to clipboard and paste it inside 12 point size text of document B. The font size of the pasted text changes to 10, and I have to manually change it back to 12. If there's a lot of text to be pasted, it could be a very time-consuming process ... Please help me. -- Vadim (Nick) Zima Certified Russian Translator/Conference Interpreter ATA certified, Washington State Court and DSHS certified Member of ATA, NAJIT, NOTIS, WITS E-mail: vadim @zima.net Web: www.zima.net |

If it's one of the more recent versions, after pasting you should fetch up a little dialog window that asks you whether to match the destination formatting or whatever. -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |

The methods I found there are MORE time-consuming than what I did before,
because "...using them is by no means straight forward". Very disappointing "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .

Actually, the paste options buttons are pretty easy to use, just a couple of
clicks (assuming you have Word 2002 or 2003). Did you read the linked page about it? It's easier than it looks when you actually try it out. It's also pretty easy to record a macro of yourself using the paste options button, and then to assign it to a keyboard shortcut. It may take a little extra time to set up, but once you understand how it works, it will save you quite a bit of time and repetitive motion. But it's your choice. I don't think there are any other workarounds to offer, though.

Normally, I am using Word 2003, but for the sake of experimenting with
suggested solutions, I tried Word XP as well. Solving one problem created other questions (like inability to save the macro, disappearing toolbars, etc.) and instead of working on an extremely urgent job for an old customer, I had to spend HOURS fixing MS bugs, learning tricks, etc. Man, do I hate Microsoft products for this! I still did not figure everything out, and having no time for it I keep using Word XP because it lets me copy/paste between documents with fewer headaches. "Opinicus" wrote in message ...
