Font changes when I copy something, How can I avoid this?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a question. I made a template for a letter with some lorem ipsum text
as example. The problem that I have now is that when I copy-paste text from
another word doc, it keepts that font or even goes back to times new roman
font although I changed my normal.dot file into Trebuchet.
Is there an easy way to change this so that my font keeps the font form the
selected text that I overwrite with the copied text? I know that I can change
the setting EVERY time that I paste something in word but I want to know is
there is a way who I can do this without changing this every time that I do
this.

So step by step what I'm doing now:
- open my template so that I have a new word doc
- copy text from another document (mostly word)
- select my lorum ipsum text with the correct formatting (font and size
correct)
- past the copied text where I had selected the lorum ipsum text
(It's here that it goes wrong, my formatting changes into the old formatting)
- then I change the settings of the copied text
(this is my question: is there a way that I can do this once without
changing the settings every time?)

I hope you can help me
Thank you very much!!

Instead of just pasting, choose Edit | Paste Special, and choose to
paste as "Unformatted Text." The pasted text will assume the
formatting at the insertion point.
