I copy and pasted a website to Word so I can make it easier for me to understand, but am having a hard time making features to be "normal". I am trying to make picture A's formatting/look look like picture B's.

Can anyone help? I have looked at Youtube, but since I don't know that the features/formatting is called I can't find how to do what I am wanting. I made pic B by changing everything little by little. There has to be a quick way to do it.


Thanks


Pic A (with everything selected to show the stuff I am wanting to remove)

Pic B (with a "normal" look)

You're on the right track. It looks like you may have pasted in the text from the web page into Word as unformatted text, and in this case that's the best way to go (otherwise Word will recognize the web page text as HTML and try to replicate it in your doc).

I don't believe there is an easier way to do this other than manually formatting by hand as you've done. You could create one or two new styles in Word via the Styles > New Style option. In the example below, I created a new style named Paragraph Heading containing the Bold Font option and the Keep with Next format option:





Almost all the formatting in Word is controlled via styles, either the ones that ship w/the program or the ones you create yourself. Having said that, managing styles in a doc can be difficult, so it might be best to just continue formatting the items manually.

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't figure out Word, but your response made me think to try another writing program. Where it didn't work 100% all I have to do is fix some spacing, font and text size so you saved me hours of work. Thanks
