I don't use Word, so I am not 100%, but there should be an Insert document function in Word. If there is, it would maintain the formatting...

>Another quick question. I have two Word documents that have different margin widths and other page formats. I want to merge them into one document from VFP, but be able to keep the individual page formats for both. I know how to copy all the text from one to the other but my text takes on the format properties of the form that it is being pasted into.
