Folks,



I have an issue copying from one Word Document to another, the formatting changes and text goes to a new page at a different point in the text pushing up all the text fom that page on. I'm seeing this in quite a number of documents we have at the moment and we need to be able to copy and paste them into a new document but want to keep them the exact same.

For example I have attached orginaltest.doc and I coped the entire text of this into a new Word document see copiedtest.doc and on page 3 the text seems to be using a different line spacing and is causing 2 lines of text to move up onto the end of page 3 from page 4 in the copiedtest.doc.

Has anyone any ideas to the cause of this?

Both documents are zipped!

Hi
First of all check that both documents are based on the same template. If not this will be the cause of your issue as different templates may have different settings.

I think you may be right Tony. Is there a way I can see what version of Word the document was created from? Because if I click on Tools -> Options -> Compatiibility Tab -> in the "Recommened Options For" drop down --- Microsoft Word 6.0/95 is selected


Also is there a way I can see the template that the document was created from?


Thanks for reply Tony

Hi Ger
In older versions of Office such as yours you should be able to click on the File menu and select properties. One of the tabs on the dialogue box that appears will contain the name of the template that is attached to the document.
The other point I have noticed is that both documents have completely different sizes. If the copy only contains a copy of your first document then the size should be identical.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
