I use a keyboard shortcut to paste it in (Paste Special) as "unformatted" text

Hi Clive, I use this method a lot also; the trouble was in this
instance I need to preserve some of the author's formatting, while add
some of my own. So this wouldn't have worked in this instance.

And as I was creating a custom toolbar for the new styles I would be
using, I noticed that the documents had styles we hadn't used in a
long time, and that there was about 100+ of them. And, as John pointed
out, the styles were coming over even if I didn't copy over the final
paragraph mark.

But this macro gives me a "cleaner slate" from which to work.

Thanks for all the responses! This is probably the best group on the
web!
