SYMPTOMS

When you paste copied text that was created in any of the programs listed in the "Applies to" section, the formatting -- such as font size, text box rotation setting, and any photo effects -- may be lost.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if you select the Stretch text to fit box option, and then stretch the text box to change the size of the text object before you copy it.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, manually re-stretch the text box to the size of the original box from which you copied the text. Then, add any formatting (such as rotation and other effects) that was lost during the stretching process.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
