When I copy a text of line without closing paragraph mark from word (2007/2013) to my application using windows clipboard functionality, the font of the text is not retained and it changes to default font set for the application. However, if I copy the same text including the closing paragraph mark and paste into my application it retains all the formatting including font face and size.

Is this behavior known about MS Office Word. Is it a problem with word or windows clipboard? Is there a solution which I can use to resolve the issue? Please suggest.
