Hi Jo

The issue here is about styles. If you want to put the two documents
together, and retain their separate formatting, then the two documents
need to use differently-named styles.

More details, and an explanation of what's going on is at:

Why does text change format when I copy it from one document to another?

But, if you have Word 2002 or later, you can use the Paste Options
button. When you paste into Word, choose "Keep Source Formatting" from
the Paste Options. More information is at:

Hope this helps.
