Hi,

I just bought Microsoft Office for Mac early this month and am still getting used to it. Can someone help me with this:

I have several documents typed onto a notebook layout with lots of bullet points, color changes, cross outs and the like. I wanted to copy and past all of that into a new document but when I did ALL of the formatting changes were lost. There were no bullet points, so the text flushed left, yada, yada, yada.

I looked around the toolbar to try and find a setting that would allow me to do the cut and paste while keeping all the whistles and bells but couldn't find it.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I figure something must be amiss in my settings but I don't know where to look.

Cheers,
wm

Try using Edit> Paste Special - formatted Text rather than just pasting.
