Can anyone help?  I have set up a couple of Word 5.0 documents as
stationery templates with a logo and address in a header (I have set
them up as sys. 7 stationery documents, checking the box in the info
dialog, not as MS Word stationery docs).

They work fine, when I open them up and enter text directly, printing
out happily on my LaserWriter.  But often, when I cut/copy text from
another document and paste it in, the header vanishes.  This is not a
printing problem - if I paste the text into a template open in pageview
I can see the header vanishing in front of my eyes on the screen.

I assume I'm accidentally pasting in some formatting information from
the source document (which standardly has no header), but how can I prevent
it? It is irritating to say the least.
