Woord 2007 pasting "issues" lifeattempt[ at ]gmail.com 12/12/2008 8:48:59 PM I am pasting some text from one word 2007 document into another. The source is formatted as Times 12, and the destination has all Times font, some 12, some 10. When I paste, it ALWAYS pastes as Callibri 11. I have changed the styles/defaults settings to always paste as times 12, but every time I start up the program again, it changes back those settings. I have changed paste settings to match destination. My first question is the obvious - why word word change the font style and size from the source AND the destination. This just seems ridiculous. I want to be able to hit control C/V; paste special is too cumbersome. My second question is, is there some setting I am missing, or is word just gotten too smart (insistent) for me? I don't recall ever having this issue with W2003 thanks

Re: Woord 2007 pasting "issues" grammatim <grammatim[ at ]verizon.net> 12/13/2008 12:44:09 AM Calibri is (for some utterly inexplicable reason) the default text font in 2007. I wonder if you (sensibly) got away from it by simply selecting your text and changing it to to Times, instead of changing it in the basic paragraph style (probably Normal) that you use.

Re: Woord 2007 pasting "issues" "PamC via OfficeKB.com" <u43222[ at ]uwe> 12/13/2008 2:31:56 AM It sounds as if you are using manual formatting in your document and that the style of your text is normal. The font for the normal style as-delivered is Calibri. If that is true then here's your fix: W2007 gives you quite a bit of control over how text is pasted. Go to the Office button > Options > Advanced. The selection in the d dropdown box next to "Pasting between documents" probably says "Use destination styles (default) ". Click the arrow to the right of the words and choose "Match destination formatting". Note that you could also choose "keep source formatting" and "text only". If you also revise documents formatted with styles, you may want to change setting this back to the default.
