How to cut and paste with same font as the document? - Janet


Posted: Nov 02, 2009

Occasionally, I cut and paste an address of a physician into a letter document, and it pastes with a different font than my letter. I have to highlight that portion and change whatever I pasted in my document to the correct font. Is there a way to make that faster? Slows me down. TIA - Janet

Use the Paste Special/Unformatted Text option. (sm) - Cheryl

You can record a macro to make this faster.

This option is on the Edit menu in Word 2003 and earlier. (It helps to mention your version of Word when asking questions.)

format - Horski

Highlight the material and then look for the icon on the toolbar that looks like an A with an curved arrow over it. That will put text to the default font of the document that you pasted it in.

Can't find the A/curved arrow - please help - Janet

Horski, thanks for this tip. It sounds as though it will work- I have looked high and low on different toolbars for the icon that looks like an A with curved arrow over it. Can you tell me what toolbar it is on? Thanks so much in advance - Janet

There is an alarming increase in complaints regarding moderation on MTStars boards recently, but please remember: moderators are people too. They sometimes make mistakes and/or have temporary lapses in judgement. Just because they were harsh with you once or made a bad decision that you disagree with doesn't mean that they're bad moderators, that they'll hold a grudge against you, or even that they'll make the same decision a second time.

Cut And Paste
Jun 05, 2013

I really need someone to answer this. I have been accused of adding spaces to my documents, but my argument is that cutting and pasting the doctor's templates in a document used over and over (changing any parts he wants changed) is adding spaces. I did not do this on purpose. Has anyone ever had this type of issue before? Or am I alone? ...
