Copy and paste - result in blue text

Hi,

I am trying to copy and paste from one FrameMaker file to another, but when I do, the resulting text is blue (it's black in the source document). When I try to apply a style to it, it remains blue.

Any ideas on what is causing this to happen?

    Check that track changes is not activated as well.

    What do the character and paragraph designers show for color of the text? If they show black or As-Is, I'd check to see if a condition was applied with the condition indicator set to ON.

    Sounds like you didn't do a paste-special-unformatted, and the copied-in text brought one or more styles/formats, color definitions, or even conditions, in with it.
