cesarcesar Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have a page with 10px fonts on screen. I have to get this pages data into a MS Word document. I do a ctrl+A in Firefox, then paste everything into Word. The pasted copy in Word is now 12px. How do i get it to stick at 10px? When running the same steps in IE, it pastes into Word correctly at 10px. My basic question is, how do i get FF to keep the 10px font size when pasting into Word? Thanks much.

jcombs_31 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Is it really that hard to just resize the text in word? I think there is a paste special option in the edit menu that may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesarcesar Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 pasting from IE works perfectly. And yes, resizing in Word would be *easiest*, but if there is a way... i am going to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 did you try the paste special command that I mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainewoods Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 the copy command in both ie and ff will only copy text - not html!(unless you are viewing the source code) Try pasting what you copied into notepad and you will see that no style info including any font size is included. There probably is an issue of where you copied it into word. If you copy it into an area that has a font size of 10px already, then the new content will have that size also. Likewise if you copy into any area that has a 12px size. Try pasting what you got from ff right into the middle of the area into which you already copied from ie. It should be the same size then.
