When pasting text into text box, it changes to Times New Roman, but why?

[AL_n]

I'm using MS Word 2000 and MS Windows 7.

When pasting text into text box, it changes to Times New Roman (always),
even though the text I cut was formatted to Arial, and the text box's
paragraph format is set to Times New Roman.

Is this a bug? If not, how do I overcome this?

Many thanks

Al

PS.... Sorry, I meant: "the text box's paragraph format is set to Arial".

When you create a text box, the text inside it is formatted in Normal style.
In other words, you can modify the settings for the Normal style to suit
your needs.
