Assuming that you don't want the copied text to be editable, you can
copy it and then use EditPaste Special to paste it as a picture. Note
that this won't preserve autonumbering, though.

Hi, i'm looking for a way to do a copy paste action in Word without
losing
the style of the original document. In other words, when the default
style of
the original document contains arial and the default style of the
normal.dot
contains times new roman then after the copy paste action the copied
text
with the default style has changed in times new roman. And this is
what i
don't want.... Is there a way to do a copy paste action without
losing the
style? and i'm looking also for vba code to do this

thx.

Rob
