cutting and pasting problem

I am using Word 97.
When I copy and paste text from document A to document B, the pasted text
retains the font of the document it was taken from - which, in my case, is
often not the correct font for the document it is pasted to. Does Word
permit a way to paste the text so it takes on the font of the document it is
pasted into instead? That is that the pasted text adopts the styles of the
recipient document?

Hi Jeff

See

Why does text change format when I copy it from one document to another?
