= SUMMARY =

The following information describes what happens to character formatting when you copy information from a Works Spreadsheet or Database module file to a Word Processor module file.

Works Versions 1.0 and 1.05
When you copy information from a Spreadsheet or Database module file to a Word Processor module file, the character formatting will take on the formatting of the default font.

Works Versions 2.0 and 3.0
When you copy information from a Spreadsheet or Database module file to a Word Processor module file, the character formatting for the copied text will take on the same character formatting as the text located where you position the insertion point to paste the text. For example, if you position the insertion point in a paragraph where the text is formatted for Pica 8, bold, the information that you copy over to the Word Processor module from the Spreadsheet or Database module will be formatted as Pica 8, bold.

 * 1) Select the text by pressing ALT+S+A, or by pressing the F8 key and extending the selection with the arrow keys.
