Changes margins and font when inserting new document

[Kelly S]

I have a word 2000 document and I want to insert another word 2000 document into it. The problem is that both documents are using the same style names with different fonts. I'd like to keep the fonts different and have tried section breaks, but nothing works. The style is automatically changed to the one in the original document, which messes up margins, captions, etc. Is there a work around?

Open the second document on its own and re-name the styles. Save, then
insert in the first document. Not a very elegant work-around, and damned
tedious if there are a lot of styles.

Thanks...yeah, there are a lot of styles and I was hoping
for a simpler solution.
