Woord 2007 pasting "issues"

[lifeattempt]

I am pasting some text from one word 2007 document into another. The
source is formatted as Times 12, and the destination has all Times
font, some 12, some 10. When I paste, it ALWAYS pastes as Callibri 11.
I have changed the styles/defaults settings to always paste as times
12, but every time I start up the program again, it changes back those
settings. I have changed paste settings to match destination.

My first question is the obvious - why word word change the font style
and size from the source AND the destination. This just seems
ridiculous. I want to be able to hit control C/V; paste special is too
cumbersome.

My second question is, is there some setting I am missing, or is word
just gotten too smart (insistent) for me? I don't recall ever having
this issue with W2003

thanks

Calibri is (for some utterly inexplicable reason) the default text
font in 2007. I wonder if you (sensibly) got away from it by simply
selecting your text and changing it to to Times, instead of changing
it in the basic paragraph style (probably Normal) that you use.
