Thanks for the response, but... I've already factored in everything you say. I've already examined Preferences, I use Paste Special (for unformatted option). But since it even happens when copying and pasting within the same document, there's something wrong. I'm very careful about my style sheets and my Normal always matches my other styles.
I can start a brand new document and type anything in Normal, which I have set as 11 pt, copy that, press the return a couple of times, then paste what I just typed—and it pastes in 14.5 size. That's the situation.
The style you are using could be set to apply a different style (with a larger font size) when pressing Enter. Investigate the "Style for following paragraph" setting in the Modify Style dialog box.
Good thought, but, no. For one thing, "following style" only applies when you press the return and start a new paragraph.
But...I have done a little research on my MacBook, running Office 2019. And...the same ugly phenomenon does not occur in 2019. Thus, I'm guessing it's some kind of a bug in 2021 (I just did away with my 365 subscription).
So, next question, who can tell me how to file a bug report with Microsoft?
Thanks for the follow-up.
