Word Reformatting on a Copy and Paste.

Question

I have tried to reformat a document by copying and pasting it into a New doc. It pastes fine but doesn't hold the reformat. I have pasted using Text only. I have gotten rid of all formatting prior to and after pasting and then tried to reformat.

All I'm doing is reformatting the first line of my paragraph. The difficult thing to understand is that it works for 80% of the doc. I contacted Microsoft and they had no answer. Does anybody know the issue?
