I don't have near the experience of Charles, but I will second that the suggestion to use this strategy. I even do so with documents of hundreds of pages and many types of elements. The previous document, which is often some nth iteration with who knows who many users, computers, settings, etc., often has a host of issues that I just prefer to avoid by carefully pasting into my own clean doc or template. Good luck.
