Question

why things go wacky when I copy and paste to a new document...

Hi,

It seems when I go to copy graphics and paste into a completly new document, the text goes wacky. It retains the font but some instances of the font are enlarged and a line that may have had 2 words on it will now have 1 word on it. - I'm finding myself having to flatten (create outlines) of text just to copy and pate samples of the artwork elsewhere.

Any idea as to why this is happening? Any way to fix this in settings or preferences?

thanks!

    Possibly, the text from the original document is applied a [Basis Paragraph] paragraph style, and the style has been modified. You copy the text into a new document and it takes on the attributes of [Basis Paragraph] of new doc, however differs from the original document.

    It's not just basic paragraph, but ANY style that has the same name, but a different definition, in the receiving file will alter the appearance of text from another file that has that syle applied.
