Hi there

Our clients usually give us a long document in DOCx format.

We work then on a cover page, put a section break (due to footnote renumbering) and add their DOCx as an annex. We are only paid to do the cover page.

However, when we paste the annex, we noticed changes in numbering and formatting.
Reason for that is that clients' annexes are badly formatting and our cover note as style with automatic numbering.

I was asked for a solution. That is basically a solution that would allow us to copy the client annex without interfering with its content.



I suggested the following for the time being, that is to ensure that the cover page only has Normal style and no automatic numbering, this will ensure that styles in the annex are changed after copying the cover note.

But I am sure the MS Word may have other solutions; I am thinking of the following ones:
- Is there any special paste feature that paste content as a "block", that is independent from previous content to ensure that pasted content doesn't change
- Ask the client to give the annex in PDF and insert the annex as images

Thanks a lot
