Hi John:
You probably can't. Some things were never intended to have eternal life,
and Microsoft Word 98 is one of them
You can try Edit>Paste Special>As plain text. That should adopt the
formatting of the destination.
If you like the effect, try Elliott's macro that he posted here last week.
Or: Here's my macro, which has a few other checks in it to ensure that the
operation will be possible:
Sub EditPlainPaste()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 20/12/00 by John McGhie

On Error GoTo JustPaste
If ActiveDocument.Kind <> wdDocumentEmail And _
(Selection.Type = wdSelectionIP Or _
Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = False) Then
Selection.PasteSpecial DataType:=wdPasteText
Else
PasteNormal
End If
End
JustPaste:
Selection.Paste
End Sub
Sub PasteNormal()
Selection.Paste
End Sub

It seems whenever I copy and paste from a web page (in FireFox) over to Word
98 (which runs in classic) the font always defaults to American Heritage. How
can I fix this?
I do not have this problem with Safari, only in FireFox.
