Word renames my styles when pasting text from other doc
Scenario:
I have a changed the definition of the style Heading 1 but kept the name of the style. When I paste text from another document into my own document Word uses the source styles of the inserted text which I don't want. But if I do it the other way around, that is copy text from my own document into the other, Word uses the destination styles instead. I know I can choose another option in the Smart Tag that shows. But I wan't to control what Word does as default. Also Word changes the name of a certain style in my own document when pasting text from another document. Word combines the two orinal style names into a new name. I can't find the explanation for this. Can anyone help me, please? I use Word 2003. |

For more information how Word handles styles and copy/paste, see he
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...xtChanges.html And http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/sfpa...ttingPane.html I think these two pages will explain what is happening and how to prevent it.

Word renames my styles when pasting text from other doc
Hi Peer,
When I paste text from another document into my own document Word uses the source styles of the inserted text which I don't want. Very possibly it's not the style that is the problem. If the other document used manual formatting, this will travel along into your doc. Try to use Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+Spacebar on the text in the other doc and then paste. Does it now take on the look of your styles? Also Word changes the name of a certain style in my own document when pasting text from another document. Word combines the two orinal style names into a new name. Maybe the other doc uses alias names for some built-in styles? Say it uses "H1" as an alias for "Heading 1", then your doc will show the alias too after you paste in text ("Heading 1,H1"). Regards, Klaus |
