When cutting and pasting from a document that is in 12 pt to a document that
is also 12 pt, the cut and pasted passage is changed to 14 pt. I'm using
Word 2003 from Professional Edition 2003, academic edition.
 
Thanks for your reply, but Geez that's complex. I have been cutting and
pasting between these same two document for 3 months now without the change
of font happening. Over the weekend, I had to reinstall my operating system
and drivers and Office because of another problem, and now this cut and paste
problem popped up. There must be a simpler way to change the settings!
 
Yes, it is complicated. Word is complicated.
Lessons to be learned:

1) You need to be using styles rather than direct formatting in your
documents and templates. - So, when you want to change the formatting of
your text that is in the "Body Text" style, you want to change the
formatting of the style, not just the formatting of the text.

2) Under Tools > Templates & Add-Ins the box to update styles should be left
unchecked!
