ever since i've moved to office 2007 ive been having formatting problems. with excel there is this saving grace that there's a separate paste button called paste special where i can specify im just trying to copy the formatting, not the text. with word i dont have that luxury.
here's the problem - ive tried taking the text from one word document and inserting that into an already existing document. unfortunately the formatting is off, there are blank lines in between the text that shouldnt be there. given the fact that these are cover letters, this is a big deal. im attaching 2 screen shots below. cover letter 1 is the original, where im copying from, cover letter 2 is where im copying it to.
As you can see the formatting is the same. The spacing is the same. If you look intently at the styles bar you can see that although both are in the format of "AaBbCcDd Normal" they're using different formats within the styles bar. I'm guessing that may have some relevance but I dont see how to change that given that they have the exact same text.
Would appreciate help.
Thanks
Dan
