Paragraph pasted into another .docx wraps in a different place than the original.
I have two docx documents that, as near as I can tell, have the same margin sizes, indents, and other geometric settings as each other. However, when I copy and paste a 3-line right-justified paragr...
Hello BenevolentDeity ,
what a gem!
The difference is in the double spaces between sentences. They are condensed in the first text. Since you said you had checked everything style/font-wise, the only thing I can think of is that the document with the spacing condensed was set to other rules, like those under File → Options → Advanced. Have you checked that?
Let me also ask something else: when you copy the text, but paste it without format, does it still happen? Lenka
Thanks for your quick reply. I actually don't see any difference in sentence (line) spacing between the two versions in the .gif file I attached. However, there is wider spacing between words on the 2nd and 3rd lines in the second version, but that is due to the right-justification and the fact that there are not as many words on those lines due to the early wrap of the second line.
As per your suggestion I did compare the settings in File→Options→Advanced between both documents but didn't see any differences, and I've never made any changes in that area to any document I've ever created.
Just to remove copy/paste issues from the list of suspects I manually retyped the same paragraph into both documents, but it still wrapped differently between them.
This is more of a mystery to me than a big deal and I've seen it many times before in other documents and wondered what was going on, but it's certainly not a show stopper 🙂
So did I, to tell the truth, usually the paste without formatting helped.
I wonder if others chime in with they ideas. Lenka
