How to turn off auto formatting?
I am trying to copy data from an existing document to another and when I try
to do it the formatting in the new document changes. For instance, when I copy a couple of paragraphs with bullets into a new document it changes the whole formatting in the document. It also moves all the data down in the document. Is there something that can be done to prevent this from happening? Please advise. -- Thanks, Bailey |

How to turn off auto formatting?
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm
If the source document uses the same stylenames as the target document and those styles are defined differently, somethings got to give. Of course if you add anything to a document the existing content of the document will 'move down' to accommodate it. The simple solution to your problem is to use Edit paste special unformatted text (or use the following macro attached to a toolbar button of keyboard shortcut if you do this regularly) and the inserted text will adopt the format at the cursor position in the target document, where you can add whatever formatting your require. Sub PasteUnfText() On Error GoTo oops Selection.PasteSpecial _ DataType:=wdPasteText, _ Placement:=wdInLine End oops: Beep End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bailey wrote: I am trying to copy data from an existing document to another and when I try to do it the formatting in the new document changes.
