Default Preventing people pasting in new styles?

I've just created a brand new template for our company. All is fine, except people paste in material from older document. In doing so, they copy in styles, including broken styles (in older documents, Heading styles had bizarre suffixes) & section breaks (which means pages with different margins).

I note in Word 2007 that when I paste text from an old document into a new one, I'm not forced to choose whether only destination styles are used. How is that functionality forced "on"? If I can't do that, is the only solution to force people to paste from older documents as plaintext only?



Regards,

P.

EDIT: A bit more info; in Word Options, I set my Cut, Copy Paste settings as follows:



Yet when I copy from another doc, the styles from that doc are still copied in. These settings _seem_ to have no affect.
