Word documents are formatted based on all the style definitions. If you are adding the existing document to your Cover Page document then you need to firstly ensure that both documents share the same style definitions.



It would be smarter to paste your cover into the Annex document rather than the other way around.

Or build your cover page after importing all the styles from the Annex document.

Hi there

Thanks for your reply

Macropod -> It does happen and it's due mainly to a) different editors working on the document at different time and doing I don't what; b) editors have no knowledge of styles and having paragraph with funny styles.

I have tried a basic copy and paste of the annex into a new document with a cover page and it does mess up styles (e.g. an empty paragraph marked as list paragraph but without numbering will get a number).

Guessed ->Totally agree, pasting the cover page instead of pasting the annex is a better working method. I shall tried the other way, that is to import styles of annex and create cover page, then paste the annex, but this does bring changes to the annex

Macropod -> Yes, includetext with preserve format seems to be the solution, thanks for that! However, layout changes such as landscape and portrait is not done? I shall do more testing and get back to you.

Again, thank you for your support (y)

An INCLUDETEXT field referring to an entire document imports all of the source document's page layout.
