Hi Patty

For an explanation of what's going on here, see
Why does text change format when I copy it into another document?

If you have Word 2002 or later, you can use the Paste Options button. For
information about that, see
How Paste Options works in Microsoft Word 2002 and 2003

Hope this helps.

it seems the formating never holds, including the font. Is there a trick?
