I have a saved document that I reuse daily. I want to have it always be in
bold, uppercase letters with a specific font and size. When I receive data
in an email (name and address in the body) I want to copy and paste it into
my document and have it automatically appear in the bold, upperase etc.
Since I always receive it in another font and lowerase, how do I do this?
Thanks!
 
You create a style with the correct attributes. Then after the copy/paste
apply the style. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to the style to make it
quick to apply.
 
You can also look at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styles/ModifyAStyle.html, which tells how to
modify an existing style, but you can use (almost) the same steps to create
a new style. The easiest way is to format a paragraph the way you want it,
then, in the Styles and Formatting task pane, click New Style. The style
definition will already include the formatting you've applied, so all you
have to do is choose a name for the style.

OK - tried this however I cannot get the letters to stay in CAPS. Everything
else seems to be ok - but when I go to an email and copy and paste, the
letters do not change to caps but remain the same as they were on the
email....

Still need a bit more help!

Thanks.
 
Then when you apply the style to text, the text should be All Caps. If not,
then select the text and press Ctrl+Spacebar.

A quick trick that I use is to open up Notepad (which you'll find in
Start>All Programs>Accessories) and first paste the text into it. Then
copy the text again from Notepad and paste it into your Word document.
Since Notepad doesn't support any text formatting, when you paste the
text to your Word document it will adopt the formating of what you
already have.
