[gui-talk] Retaining formatting in MSword 2003

[Griffiths, Steve]

Sherri,

The formatting characteristics you mention are all paragraph formatting,
and these are stored in the paragraph mark (also called the pilcrow) at
the end of a paragraph. If you want to include them, you'll need to copy
that paragraph mark as well as the text. The paragraph mark is a
non-printing character and so it doesn't usually appear on the screen.
It's created in the document when you press the Enter key. If you want
to see them in your document, open the Tools menu, choose Options, and
on the View page either Tab to and check Paragraph marks, or use the
shortcut Alt + M.

Steve

One useful keystroke combination is shift+ctrl+c to copy the format of
text
and then shift+ctrl+v, which pastes the format.  There's probably a
smoother
way, but at a minimum, you could copy and paste the text, then, if the
resulting format isn't what you desire, you could copy and paste the
format.

If anyone can make a suggestion and help me, I would appreciate it.

I have recently started using Word 2003. When I copy and paste from an
existing document into my new document, the formatting of the existing
document is not retained. What settings do I need to change in Word so
that
existing formatting, style,line justification, etc. is retained? This
will
help me a great deal,as it takes a long time to proof documents and make
sure formatting is correct. Thank you.
