If the pasted portion includes a section break or the last paragraph mark in
a document, then you are pasting section/document-level formatting. Have you
tried using Paste Special | As Unformatted Text?

Hi,

When I cut and paste pages (with pictures if that matters) into the
document, it changes the margins of the document. Afterward, I basically
only read the text and look at the pictures (i.e. almost never make
changes),
so I don't care if it makes macros, or whatever, unusable.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Stephen

There are ways to do this, but they would require protecting the entire
document in ways that might make it functionally unusable. Perhaps if you
tell us more about what you're trying to do?

Hi,

Since no one has answered me, I assume that there is no way to lock
margins
so they can't get changed. Too bad. Word used to be good. Now it is
ridiculous. Someone told me that some kind of open office word was
great.
Does anyone know if their margins can be locked?

Thanks again.

Stephen
