First, look on pages 90 & 96 of the End Note manual, which describe a
possible problem involving Word's Normal style.  If that situation does
not apply to you, the problem may actually lie with the clipboard.  Word
has a problem overwriting information already on the clipboard and thus
pastes information in New York, even if it's not the default font. You
may also encounter this problem when inserting a glossary item, for example.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to mention my enthusiastic support
for Niles and End Note.  After looking at ProCite and Reference Manager
for a series of diverse needs, including some very large databases, we
chose EndNote as the hands down winner.  The program is friendly,
especially on the Mac, has an excellent manual, and does exactly what it
purports to do.  I have also found their tech support among the best I
have encountered.  End Note has saved me days, if not weeks, of time
formatting bibliographies, inserting references, and sifting through
information downloaded from MedLine, Dialog, and Current Contents.
Thanks to Niles for a great product.
