Merging 2 documents: pasting does not merge formatting
Hello All,
I have 2 separate word documents which have with several headings and subheadings. I would like to merge the styles when I paste the documents however, the new merged documents does not keep the division in heading and sub-heading, which become normal text. Here is the document that I want merge which has the structure and here is when I merge it when my destination document. the text keeps the numbering but is not formatted and as consequence the navigation pannel does not show all the sections. suggestions?!?! |

See: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...0-FB9CE15BF3D6. You'll note that the ambiguous 'merge formatting' description is no more; it's now more appropriately called 'Match Destination Formatting'. Check your paste options in Word, too (File|Options|Advanced>Cut, copy, paste>Pasting between documents); it seems you have them set to paste the text only - which obliterates any Style information.

As I said, it's been renamed in later versions.

To have things show up in the navigation pane, they must use the built-in heading style or styles based on them.
