Format settings changes when pasteing

[Fredrik, Sweden]

Hi! When I copy a text in one document and paste it into another, the format
settings of the iserted text changes. That is the font size in certain
segments of the text changes an also, the document fills up with new empty
lines doubling the space between existing paragraphs. How do I stop this from
keep happening?
Kind regards/ Fredrik

Word 2003 but also, my Girlfriend uses Word 2007 and the same thing happens
there.

The added empty lines, could it have anything to do with the autoformat
function (whatever that is).

Also another strange thing that hapens.... When changing a particular
paragraph, from size 10, double space between lines into normal (12 with no
extra space between line) the whole document changes style. I have a feeling
theres a setting that sholud be unclicked somewhere...

Did you read the article? If you paste Normal text into a document where
Normal is differently defined, the formatting will change. But if the entire
document changes, see
