Copy/Paste with Keep Source Formatting No Longer Works

Anonymous

I have documents with Styles and Numbering.  I can no longer copy and paste paragraphs and retain the styles and numbering between documents.  Pasting with Keep Source Formatting changes all the paragraphs to Normal style and kills all the numbering.

I've tried changing the defaults in the options, used the "Keep Source Formatting" on the paste options button, selected "Keep Source Formatting" from the Home->Paste button.  Nothing seems to work.  Seemed to pop up after the last update.

Please fix this asap.

    I agree that it would be safer to do that.  Users are used to just copying/pasting and it worked up until the last update.  I thought I had checked the default copy/paste, but maybe I overlooked it.  I'll give that a try.  Thanks.
