How to maintain original styles after pasting
Hi, I am using office professional 2007.
I have to write a report. I have defined the styles I use to how I need them to be. Now I want to insert other documents as annexes. These documents have their own styles. When I insert or copy and paste, they all get messed up, because the styles in those documents adapt to the style settings in the main document. What can I do to let the annexes keep their own style settings? Cheers, Fred |

Hi Fred,
See Word Options|Advanced > Cut, copy & paste > Pasting between documents. Use the 'Keep source formatting' setting. Do the same for when the Style definitions conflict.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestion. I did what you suggested. "keep source formatting" was already selected by default. The style I had to adapt so that the original styles would be kept in case of style conflicts. Still, it did not look like the original. Possibly because styles were not used consistently in the source document. Any other suggestions? I have to attach many more annexes which will probably have the same problems. Cheers, Fred |

If you save the source document in RTF format and open it in WordPad, you should be able to copy & paste from there and retain the source formatting.
