COPY and paste !

[james]

I tried on general questions but nothing for this...

I have learnt how to insert a page in Ms Word 2002 (alt + enter)
now i went to copy from another Ms word 2002 document and paste it into the
inserted page i made in the 1st document...
trouble is , it loses all its formating, yet it does Not lose its formatting
when i paste it into a newly opened document.
How can i paste it into the added page without loseig formatting?

I don't use 2002 (2000 and 2003) check in Tools, Options, Edit - do you have
the option to select and show the "Paste Options". This activates a little
options list at the point of pasting, ie clear formatting or keep formatting.
This may alleviate your pasting wows, but unfortunately (as listed in your
previous posting) pasting from one document to another (when these documents
are possibly based on different templates and/or settings) you will get
differences and possible errors.
I dont think this is different on 2002 but Ctrl+Enter inserts a manual Page
Break,
Alt+Enter repeats previous keystrokes - not sure about this function's
limitations-which does include insert Page Break ;-).

To see the Page Break, toggle on/off the non-printing characters, either by
clicking the "¶" icon or use Ctrl+Shft+8.

Hope this helps

Well i had show paste options already clicked on and it never gave me a
window to select anything when i pasted.

Now i've gotten myself Ms Word 2007 and maybe there's a better way to
accompish this?

It isn't a window, the paste options are a small tab that appears at the end
of the pasted section you have just pasted. Click on the box to see the
options.
