In mid-September, Avi replied to a question as follows:

When EndNote puts stuff on the clipboard, we don't set the font and size at
all.  In most cases, Word does a fine job of continuing the font and size of
the preceeding data in the pasted text.  If you insert a footnote, and then
paste immediately, there is some confusion about exactly which font and size
you want.  Sometimes the pasted data is set to Normal. Selecting the
paragraph mark at the end and resetting to the correct paragraph style will
fix this.


I queried Microsoft Tech support, who confirmed the defect and claimed that they
are trying to eliminate this bug in Word 6.
