Best Practices: Copying from another Document
If you already have some content entered in a Word Document, you may wish to try using these steps to copy the content of that document without copying the formatting. This technique is also demonstrated in this video:
- Highlight the content to be copied and choose Edit, Copy
- Switch to the other document and position the insertion point where you wish the text to go
- Choose the Edit, Paste Special menu option. In the window that appears, choose “Unformatted Text”, then click OK
