It seems like a simple task, but an hour later I am giving in, asking for help.

Can someone please tell me how to copy an online newspaper article
(including the headline, text, pictures, etc.) into a MS Word document
WITHOUT the formatting changing everything?

I would simply take a screenshot and copy that into a word document, except
that the article is quite long (it extends past the fold (bottom) of my
screen), and subsequently only the top of the article is copied in the
screenshot.

Use SnagIt (30-day free trial at www.techsmith.com), which can
automatically scroll the page to capture the whole thing.
 
That may well make a graphic too long to insert on a single page, though.

By default it will shrink to the margins of the page so while it should fit,
it could well be much smaller than the original - unless the OPs printer
will accept large page sizes.

IOW, it could be too small to be readable.
