This points to the real criticism of Word: that its internal representation of text is quite different to its appearance (i.e. WYSIWYG does not imply WYSIWYM) and if you make even a little use of its advanced features and reedit, you will quite likely get a document that behaves perversely. I have quite often seen Word users give up on reformatting a section, cut and paste it into another application and then cut and paste-back-without-styling so that they can reformat from scratch.
- oblio 6y agoThe can generally use Format Painter for that. Or they could just use a style, which overrides local settings.
- chalst 6y agoQuite a few of the properties a run of text might have are not controlled by styles, and Format Painter makes gives a uniform format for all the selected text: if you go this route, you still might have lots of hand reformatting to do. The point I was making is that the more of Word's advanced features you use, the more of these kinds of mismatch you risk encountering.
