   You're probably replacing the last paragraph marker. Try this: Before
you Paste the new stuff in, type a bunch of Return's and move the insertion
point between two of them, but NOT directly before the last one. Then Paste.
   If you have a document with a header displayed in Page Layout (or
whatever they call it now) you'll noticed that repeatedly hitting the Cursor
Right key will take you past the last paragraph of the body and into the
header. That's why it's disappearing.
