Paste changes the font

[Guest]

Folks
In Word 2002, if I paste a sentence typed in Helvetica, into the middle of a
sentence that has also been written in Helvetica, the pasted text is
converted to Times New Roman. Does anyone have any idea why? and how it can
be fixed. Thanks Janet

Use edit > paste special as unformatted text - the following macro will
simplify things:

Sub PasteUnfText()
On Error GoTo oops
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine
End
oops:
Beep
End Sub

If you do not use AutoText, Macros or Custom Toolbars then close Word and
delete your [normal.dot] file. Restart Word and try Pasting Helv again.

If you do then copy them of old [normal.dot] into new using Organiser. But
that's something we can discuss another time.

Mike
