Microsoft Office Word 2003
When I copy things from one letter in a certain font, when I paste it, it changes it to
a courier font and I have to always highlight and change the font to what it was
originally. Is there a way to paste something including the font it's in?If you have the default settings for this version active, then when you paste you should
see the "Paste Options Button" appear at the lower right corner of what you pasted. Hover
the mouse over this (or press Shift+Alt+F10) and you can open the menu. Try selecting
"Keep source formatting". If the formatting has been applied directly, or if you're
copying an entire paragraph, this should retain the font formatting.
You have to realize, however, that
- Word has been designed to work with STYLES.
- And when you copy text formatted with a style from one document to another, if the
target document contains a style of the same name, but with different basic formatting
- the inserted text will, by default, pick up the target formatting
- so if you're pasting only small amounts of text, with no direct formatting applied
and no paragraph mark, the source formatting usually won't come across. (Because there's
nothing you're pasting that "tells" Word what that formatting is.)
