Hello,


I have been provided the attached template in Word 2007 format so I can fill it up in my work,
The problem is when I try to paste a multiple line plain text (from notepad for example) to the selected phrase "Aux termes d’un acte…" trying to replace it with the copied plain text in the clipboard.
In my case Word 2007 adds an extra indentation to where the selected phrase "Aux termes d’un acte…" was.
And I don't want this behaviour, because it is driving me nuts.
The only workaround I found so far is to copy that plain text one line at a time and pasting it to that target location in the provided template document.


Could anybody help me solving this problem please?
Thank you in advance.

The paragraph style used is Body Text Indent 3 which has a first line indent. Presumably whoever supplied you the template used this formatting deliberately because that is their required formatting.

So if I want to paste multiple lines from a plain text without the indentation changing, do I have to change the paragraph style to normal and change the font size back to 10?
Because what matters in the end is how it looks on paper.

Thank you in advance.

There are plenty of styles in that document to choose from. Find one that has the formatting you require.

Normal is a style that should only be used when inserting tables.
