Cannot copy and past paragraph marks - Word 2003

[Dianna]

In previous Word releases, I could easily copy a paragraph mark and paste it
over another paragraph mark. This action would eleminate the formatting of
the second paragraph and copy the formatting from the first. However, there
seems to be a glitch in the 2003 version. When I copy and then paste,
nothing happens. Formating stays the same. Even when I copy and paste the
paragraph mark anywhere else in the document (not overwriting the current
mark), the paragraph mark is not displayed.

I used this feature a lot before upgrading to Word 2003. I know that I can
use style, but copying and pasting a paragraph mark is quicker for me if I'm
not doing a lot of heavy formatting.

I use Word 2003 all the time and just tested your method - it still works - I
did it using both copy & paste methods and it worked both times (paste:
Ctrl+V or Shift Ins)

You can copy and paste formatting easily using Ctrl+Shift+C and
Ctrl+Shift+V.
