It is a function of Styles. Word documents are based on styles (and
templates, too), although lots of people go through life without knowing
this. It can get a little complicated. The short answer is that you
probably ought to try setting up a style in the document you want to paste
to that will cover the incoming text. Set the font of the style to match
the formatting you want for the incoming text. I have no idea how much text
you want to copy. Then when pasting use Paste Special, unformatted Text,
instead of Paste. That way, the incoming text will take on the style of the
target. However, if you had manually changed the font on the incoming text
manually, Word may stick with that font.
