Problem copying from one Word doc to another???

[00Tech00]

Hi there,

I am running Win 2k Pro with Office XP. I am having a problem copying from one Word document to another. The original Word document has some formatting that I need to keep and when the document is pasted, the formatting is lost. I turned smart tags on and am using the feature, maintain source formatting, but this does not work. All formatting is lost during the transition which is very annoying. Any help is greatly appreciate. Thanks!!!

Try this:

Copy character and paragraph formats
Do one of the following:
To copy paragraph formatting, select the paragraph — including the paragraph mark — that has the formatting you want to copy.

To copy character formatting, select the text that has the formatting you want to copy.

On the Standard toolbar, click Format Painter , and then select the paragraph or text you want to apply the formatting to.
Tip To copy the selected formatting to several locations, double-click Format Painter. Click the button again when you're finished, or press ESC.
