Hi all.

I have windows vista home premium and microsoft word student 2007 edition.
I am copy and pasting some various articles from the internet to use as quotes in an essay I have to complete.
The problem is, when I copy and paste from the website, the font stays the same as what it was when I got it from the website, so I have to change the size and style every time in word.
Is their a way I can format the word document, so no matter what the font looks like before copying and pasting, it will still look the same in microsoft word?

Basically I want to be able to copy and paste from specific websites without having to re change the size and style in word, I want word to do it automatically, I never used to have this problem.
I have a table that I copy and paste to, so is their a way to format the table so all font that goes in is the same?


Thanks all.

If im reading your problem correctly, when you copy and paste from a website it is not in the same format as the document you are writing. It is possible to only paste text without formatting by default by going to the office button in the top left
Then clicking word options.
Then selecting advanced
Then find the copy and paste section that looks like the picture below and change it to text only.

hope that's what you wanted.
