why does publisher change the font when i paste from word?
I have a text box in a Word document containing text in Arial 26pt.
I copy the box and paste it into a Publisher document but now the text is Garamond 26pt. Why does it do this and can I make it paste literally what I copied?

why does publisher change the font when i paste from word?
It would only take a minute to highlight the text and change it to Arial. It
could be the copying of the box, what happens if you copy only the text? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "IanMM" wrote in message ...

I'm not really looking for work-rounds; I want to understand what's happening
and why the program is not doing what I ask. Is there a way I can ask it to paste exactly what I copied? I did try pasting just the text and the same thing happened.

It is because Paste defaults to using the styles in the destination document.
When you paste, you see a lttle clipboard icon that if you click on it offers you three options: Keep Source Formatting, Keep Text Only, and Use Destination Styles (the default). The assumption is that, for the purpose of consistency, that you would want to use the styles of the destination document. Direct formatting of text without regard to styles is almost always a bad thing. -- Computing should be about insight, not numbers nor flash.
