Pasting into word and losing text attributes

Hi Everyone,

I often have to paste text from other souces into word during the
course of updating documents. Unfortunately, the newly-pasted text
will always set the text attributes (i.e.
font/size/boldness/color/underline) of my document to those of the text
I have just pasted.

Is there any way to stop that from happening? Its certainly a pain to
stop everything and readjust my document to the correct attributes.

TIA,
-T
 
You could try Edit|Paste Special. I don't know if that will work but it's
worth trying.
 
Edit, Paste Special

You may want to use "keep source formatting" (if I understood you correctly
and you want to keep the original formatting).
