Hi Phil,

You can configure Word 2003 & later to either retain the source formatting when pasting or to override it with the destination formatting.

One thing to be careful of, though, where page layouts are concerned is that, if you copy & paste Section breaks, they will tend to override your page layout (ie size, orientation, margins, headers & footers). You can either delete the Section breaks before or after the copy/paste (in which case you also lose any headers & footers associated with them) or you can re-format the errant Sections' page layout.
