Paul,

My thanks again for your contribution. Here's the file I intended to attach last round. I think it will help clarify the issues.

I'll run your new macro later today, when I get a chance, and let you know how it fares with this gremlin. Thank you! For the moment, let me just add that I am aware of the cut-and-paste options. I didn't write clearly what I meant about styles in altered states. I was referring to two aspects, principally: 1. a para style turned into a linked style; 2. the style name becoming a tangle (e.g., "KBody_text,bt" becoming "KBody_text,bt,Body_Text,KBody_Text,kea_bt
Paragraph_Text, AMBodyText,mo_bt,KBody_TextChar,KResumeBody_text") .

Neither of these aspects is "blocked" by selecting Destination formatting in the paste options; only bringing in text as unformatted keeps the new document clean.

I have tried a couple of times to teach myself VBA, but it remains a secondary need in demands on my time; I've not yet gotten far. I'm very grateful for your generous expertise.

Best wishes,
Ulodesk
