You may have noticed that when you paste text into your Word document from other documents or web pages it tends to take the formatting with it. Then you have to go back and change the newly pasted text to match the formatting of the rest of your document.
To get around this annoyance all you need to do is go to the Edit menu and select Paste Special. Then you will pick Unformatted Text. What this will do is apply the formatting of your existing text in your document to the text that you are pasting.
