Hello rictrician,
When you copy text into Microsoft Word, remember that in Word the font and style details of the paragraph are all contained in the paragraph marker at the end of the paragraph. I found that if I copied a selection, and included part of the following verse, then the paragraph marker, which came before the beginning of the next verse, would retain the previous paragraph markers intact.
Then it is easy to notice which format the font type and size and paragraph style of your further text is set to, probably the Normal paragraph style, and carefully delete the extra text which you did not need to have copied into your termination document in Word.
The quickest method of making a follow-on paragraph have the same font and paragraph style as the previous paragraph is to go to the end of the previous paragraph. Then at the period before the paragraph marker, position the pointer just after the period. Press "Delete" as though to delete the paragraph mark. Then what will happen, is that your paragraph marker will jump to the end of the expanded paragraph, which now incorporates the content of the next paragraph. Then press "Enter" to split the text into two paragraphs, both of which will have the same font size, and paragraph style.
