I've used every incarnation of Word ever offered by Microsoft. I even beta tested 2007. I don't remember this being an issue when I was testing the product or they'd have heard about it.However, much like they did in Vista, Microsoft attempted to save the user from thinking too much and only created bigger headaches.
Cutting and pasting text between documents continues to be a big problem as Word seems only to "remember" the one time I used it to create a list which required a massive amount of indenting. That or it takes note of the formatting of text I'm not pasting into the new document and opts to use that. Now when I paste text from another document to a blank one it automatically indents most of it. I've tried playing with all the settings under automatic formatting (shutting them all off--which presents me with problems when I want to copy and paste charts from one document to another), but it doesn't seem to last. All I can do is waste precious minutes dragging the margin and indent settings around. Even then, when I attempt to add to the text, it returns to its preferred formatting. It's almost easier to re-type it. I need Word to move work from one document to another in the format I lifted it in the first place. I don't need it making decisions for me.
Can someone tell me how to stop this?
Thank you!
