Hi ?B?bWFydGluVA==?=,
I have two documents formatted arial. when I copy and paste, the result is in courier. How do you prevent this? Which version of Word are you using?

It is a function of Styles. Word documents are based on styles (and
templates, too), although lots of people go through life without knowing this. It can get a little complicated. The short answer is that you probably ought to try setting up a style in the document you want to paste to that will cover the incoming text. Set the font of the style to match the formatting you want for the incoming text. I have no idea how much text you want to copy. Then when pasting use Paste Special, unformatted Text, instead of Paste. That way, the incoming text will take on the style of the target. However, if you had manually changed the font on the incoming text manually, Word may stick with that font. "Word Heretic" wrote in message ...
