Word 97 - Unwanted Formatting when doing Cut & Paste

[Mail Man Bob]

Hopefully one of the experts can recognize this problem and give me some things to do differently.

I'm using Word97. Let's say I create a document, select all and make all the text Times Roman 9 point. Now I open a different document, select a block of text, copy, then close that document and paste it into the original document.

Many times, when paste it, the new text -- and sometimes the nearby text -- change to some other font and size , other than either of the documents used.

Then I have to select the re-formatted text and again change it back to Time Roman 9 point.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.
