How do set up my form to allow a user to copy and paste word content into the
form without losing the original formatting?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWF4d2VsbA==?=,
pasting in Word will lose style-based formatting if the style already exists in
the target document, with a different format definition.

Depends on what kind of formatting you have in mind. Generally, copying and
pasting in Word will lose style-based formatting if the style already exists in
the target document, with a different format definition.

The form seems to allow only one style. All Bold. Or all not bold etc. It
does not seem to allow rich text. I need to allow users to paste the contetn
into the form without the format changing. Is this possible?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWF4d2VsbA==?=,
but getting them to do so is definitely non-trivial, i.e. requires programming.
The macro would need to unprotect, bring in the text, then reprotect without
losing user input.
If you have Word 2003, you might look at other forms of protection than form
fields...

Form fields aren't really "rich text", no. They're able to support "rich text",
but getting them to do so is definitely non-trivial, i.e. requires programming.
