Thanks Robert...I forwarded that on to him...since he told me he is using
Word from Office and not Works.

Thanks...he says he doesn't want to waste any more time on this, so I'm
gonna let it go for now.

Linda-

I have no idea as to the cause, but it happens to me, though very rare.
Here is what I do:
1. Highlight EVERYTHING.
2. Change the font and the size to something you do NOT want.
3. Go back and highlight sections (not ALL) at a time and choose the font
and size you do want.

As I said, I do not know the cause- but I do know when it happens. It
never
happens unless I open Star Office, highlight something, copy it, THEN open

Word and paste it.
If I have Word open first, then open Star Office, highlight something, and

copy it, then go back to Word, is +usually+ doesn't happen.

I am blaming Star Office, but I don't know what or why Star Office causes
it. At least, it is correctable, even if it is a pain the ___.

And yes, I know this is not a Star Office forum. I use Star Office because

of the shear number of documents I get in genealogy that were created in
Star.
