Copy and Paste Fomatting question

[TVTime]

Hello-



I am a new Word 2013 user. I recently created a template and I need to copy and paste info from another source into the template. When I paste the text shows up in a format other then the default format of the template.

For instance, my templates default font is verdana 8 pt but when I paste it shows up in another font and size.

Is there a way to get the information I want to paste to show up in the formatting I have set for the template?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
