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.

In other cases, Word gets so confused about the clipboard data, that it
reverts to it's basic font, New York.  This has been happening since Word 4,
at least.  We have found that copying some other text from inside of Word
will reset the clipboard so that it doesn't use New York any more.

Sorry about all this!

Yours,
