I'm using WORD in Office for Mac 2004.
When I copy a block of text from a web site to a WORD document, I want the
format (paragraphs, etc) to remain the same in the WORD document. But none
are retained--it all becomes one blob of data. Even when I click the "keep
format settings" intact, it doesn't do so. What's going wrong?

Content displayed in a web page is *not* the same as content in another
document... And it also depends on what browser you're using as well as how
the web page was constructed as to what actually gets copied. You can try
the various options available in Edit Paste Special but it's still a
crap-shoot as to what you'll wind up with.

BTW - You've posted to the newsgroup for Win Word:-) Easy to get
misdirected, but for future Mac issues (or more on this one) you'd be better
off posting to the Mac Word: microsoft.public.mac.office.word which you can
reach by way of the following;

Thanks, I forgot about "Paste Special" and it worked.
