Copy & Paste Issue

[Davie]

We have a template which was created by someone no longer here. We have
noticed that when we copy from the original document and paste to a new
document, based on the template, it does not bring across formatting,
watermarks etc. However, when we paste to a new blank docuemnt everything
comes across fine.

Any help on where to look would be greatly appreciated.

What is the "original document" in this context?

 

[Davie]

Sorry, the "original document" is the one created from the template. The
template created by someone else

So if I understand you rightly, you have template A. You create documents A1
and A2 from that template. Then you copy the content of A1 and paste it into
A2, and at that point find you have lost formatting. But if you paste it
into document B1, created from some other template, everything is OK.

Or have I misunderstood?

thats about it! confusing, eh?

Davie,

I found a Word option under the "General" tab to checkmark "Include
formatted text in Clipboard". Could it be that the 'A' template has that
option off, while the 'B' template has that option on?
